Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of this week’s show.
Burke is paired with Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby for the current season and in a tearful video she apologized to Rigsby for “letting him down.”
“The PCR test came back, and it came back positive,” she said in a video on Instagram. “I feel so bad for Cody. I feel like I’m letting him down. I just feel like s—, to be quite honest. And it’s so overwhelming because it’s Sunday, and the show’s tomorrow.”
“I figured I should let you guys know since I’ve been as open and as real and vulnerable as I could be here,” she continued. “I just hope I didn’t spread it. For those of you who don’t think COVID is a real thing, it’s f—— real, dude. So I have to quarantine for 10 days and I’ve been ordered to stay home … I’ll be in bed. I can’t believe this happened.”
Burke confirmed she was “fully vaccinated” with Moderna.
