The former 'Baywatch' star is worried that she may not be able to perform on the show on Saturday (19.10.18) after hurting herself during practice.
Taking to her Instagram account to share the news with her followers, she wrote: "Petite Problème I hurt my right calf muscle in rehearsal last night. We weren't doing anything crazy just dancing. It felt like someone threw a baseball very hard at my lower leg - I screamed and turned around and no one was there. Then realized it was my calf muscle that may have exploded? (sic)"
The 51-year-old star required an MRI scan on her right leg and has now begun "cryotherapy" in order to heal the muscle.
She said: "I just left IRM/MRI. I'm on my way to another Dr (insurance) this afternoon and will continue my cryotherapy and kine' every day ...
My hamstring is almost healed from 80% to 10% torn - so I've been doing well."
The former Playboy model - who is currently following a no-fat vegan diet because she believes "it's the quickest way to heal - is determined to recover quickly and continue to dance on the ballroom show.
She continued: "I'm sad but hopeful that I can continue to dance. We are losing precious rehearsal time and Saturday is only 2 days away. This is my favourite dance so far ... I love it. It's so fun. I want to share it. I was energetic and happy dancing. This is just another challenge. A bump in the road ... I guess it's common to get hurt. I'm determined to do whatever it takes to dance on Saturday."
The 51-year-old star is grateful for her hugely supportive friends and family and said that her dance partner Maxime Dereymez was a huge support.
She added: "He did all he could - he carried me to my car and then to my hotel room."
