Exclusive: The cast of DWTS shares how they *really* feel about Ray Lewis leaving the show.
Just moments after the show wrapped, ET caught up with Ray, Cheryl and the remaining dance duos, who reacted to the athlete's abrupt withdrawal. Some of them also shared the type of precautions they are taking in rehearsal to avoid any further injuries this season."We went back and forth on the phone at the house at times because I really wanted to push through -- I wanted to figure it out, like, 'Can I go?'" Ray recalled.
"I know if Ray had to leave the show, he must really be hurt," Lamar added. "But God is on his side, and I'm on his side as well. So, he'll be all right."Like Lamar and Peta, Kel and Witney couldn't be happier about having the chance to stay in the competition. The comedian received some critiques about being too serious during his-themed Rumba, which judges may have brought up had they had to choose which bottom couple would go home.
Val agreed, telling ET that it's important for the dancers to"warm-up" before each rehearsal."I think we know firsthand about injuries in this competition," he shared, referencing Christie."For us, it happened before the premiere, but yeah, it sucks."star shared."I think people are really pushing their limits and I think it's great but there is that risk.
"This is insane!" Kate exclaimed."The fact that it's going so well is like a Christmas miracle in September. What is happening?"Speaking about Christie and Ray's injuries, Ally joked that her "toes might be third." "I think you just gotta really look after your body," Emma added."And with Ray, I believe it was an injury that was kinda ongoing and just got worse and it doesn't surprise me because dancing, especially on the feet, is pretty strenuous. Unfortunately, we lost him in the ballroom but I wish him a speedy recovery, we both do, and I hope that he honestly makes a full recovery and then comes back and sees us.
