‘DWTS’ Cast Update: Derek Hough Injured, Is he leaving the show?

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Derek Hough might have to leave the show early due to injuries he sustained in both feet while he was rehearsing on April 20 for Tuesday's special episode.

"[Derek] has been diagnosed with a broken toe on his right foot and sprains to his left ankle on both the inside and outside aspects and a bone bruise on the same ankle," the 29-year-old professional dancer's rep told US Weekly in a statement. "Derek will remain in Los Angeles this week to rehab his injuries."

Hough posted a picture of his feet via Instagram.

He captioned the shot:

"Performing 10 shows a week at Radio City while rehearsing with Nastia [Lukin] for DWTS, I've never felt more healthy, strong and fit. But then a fluke accident happened that involved a light and some stairs. Can't believe it, wish I had a cooler story to tell. All that dancing, flipping, jumping and the thing that stops me in my tracks is something as simple as a light and some stairs. I'm doing everything I possibly can to have a quick recovery and I'm determined to come back stronger than ever. I appreciate all the love and support, you guys are the best. And thank you to Mark, BC Jean and Corky Ballas for staying with me at the hospital until 2am. Love you. This is new territory for me, I'm usually able to work through injury but this one has literally floored me. But like I said before I'm determined to come back all guns blazing...soon!!! #setbackisasetupforacomeback."

His rep revealed that Hough's understudy will fill in for him for New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. However, it is still unclear whether or not the Emmy Award-winning choreographer can continue competing on the ABC's hit dancing show.

Hough's partner, Liukin is reportedly training with pro Sasha Farber.

"Nastia, my heart goes out to her, just passed midway in the season, having to change pros," fellow pro Sharna Burgess told E! News. "We build a language between each other on how we work with each other and that's what enables us to be able to do what we do every week with all the pressure and the stress, trying to do things that are unnatural for these people. And for her to now have to change pros, it's like changing a language, changing a connection and changing trust. It's really difficult. She's incredibly talented, I know she will handle it beautifully, but it's not fun."

"Dancing with the Stars" airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
