Maura Higgins Battles Illness on DWTS
4 Nov
Summary
- Higgins struggled with illness and low energy during recent competition.
- She learned two dances while unwell and gave maximum effort.
- Higgins expressed pride in challenging herself and growing.
Reality television personality Maura Higgins recently revealed her struggles on Dancing With the Stars during Disney Night. Competing with professional partner Mark Ballas, Higgins performed a jive that received one of the lowest scores of the evening. She later participated in a group dance-off that further impacted her team's marks.
Higgins shared on Instagram that she was unwell and had very little energy while attempting to learn two dances. She conveyed that her intention was not to seek sympathy but to share the reality of behind-the-scenes challenges and to demonstrate her commitment to pushing her comfort zone and growing through the experience.
Despite the difficult week, Higgins' performance with Ballas earned a score of 32, composed of straight eights. This score tied them with another couple, while Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated. Higgins and Ballas will have another opportunity to perform on Grammy Night.
