Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke took to Instagram late Sunday night to announce that she tested positive for COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated. Cheryl, 37, whose celebrity partner is Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, got super emotional sharing the news.
"Have some difficult news to share…" she captioned the video.
"The PCR test came back, and it came back positive," she shared. "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."
She also shared that she will need to quarantine for 10 days.
"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."
Contestant Amanda Kloots commented, "Oh Cheryl! We will miss you and I’m praying for you." And fellow pro Sharna Burgess commented, "Oh babe I am so so sorry and devastated for you. I can’t believe it ?? I’m thinking of you and praying for you."
So, is Cheryl Burke still on Dancing With The Stars?
Right now, it's not totally clear. While she will need to miss tonight's live show and quarantine for 10 days, ABC hasn't made any official announcements about her status on the show, or if her partner Cody will dance with another pro. (Cody has also stayed mum on his social media about the news so far.)
Wishing you rest and healing, Cheryl!
