After completing her final performance on the show, many of Blair’s competitors could be seen crying as she was awarded a perfect score by the judges.
Actress Selma Blair has announced her departure from the US competition show Dancing With The Stars over health concerns related to multiple sclerosis (MS).
On Monday night’s episode, the star tearfully told her competition partner Sasha Farber that she would have to bow out of the show, but was determined to perform one last ballroom dance before leaving.
Diagnosed with the lifelong condition that affects the brain and nerves in 2018, the 50-year-old said it was her most memorable year, having been ill for « so many years » before her diagnosis.
In a pre-recorded clip, she told Farber that she has been « monitored and in touch » with her doctors throughout her time on the series and had recently had some MRI scans done.
« The results came back and it just all adds up to I can’t go on with the competition, » Blair said.
