Emma Slater Reveals Toenail Injury During DWTS Rehearsal

Dancing With the Stars professional Emma Slater shared a candid, humorous video showing that her entire big toenail came off during rehearsals for Season 35. She warned followers not to watch if they were squeamish, saying she had to remove the nail after it began “flip-flopping like a cat door” and acknowledging that the injury was painful. Slater is competing with Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson, and the pair earned 15 out of 30 points for their premiere-night cha-cha to “Wannabe.” Despite the injury, Slater has continued performing and joked about the physical risks of competing on the show.
