Fans can look forward to seeing the show represented later in 2024 TV schedule with ABC's Christmas special, but Alfonso Ribeiro unfortunately suffered an injury while filming a dance number. The special is currently in production in Florida at Walt Disney World, with Julianne Hough also taking part.

Soon after, Ribeiro was understandably in pain, and he was seen wrapping his arms around the shoulders of Hough and a crew member to keep himself standing without putting any pressure on his right foot.

It's also reported that he vomited into a nearby trashcan. When Will Alfonso Ribeiro Return To Dancing With The Stars After Injury?
