Giada De Laurentiis recently shared that she injured her toe just one week before competing on “Dancing With the Stars.” In an Instagram video, she displayed her bruised middle toe and expressed concern that she might lose the toenail. Despite the injury, she remained optimistic, stating, “We’ll figure it out tomorrow,” emphasizing that it’s part of the experience.
De Laurentiis has been approached multiple times to join the show but finally agreed with encouragement from her daughter, Jade. She noted that other contestants, like Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr., have prior dance experience, making the competition challenging. However, Giada is determined to embrace this new adventure. Season 35 of “DWTS” premieres next Tuesday, where she is partnered with pro dancer Alan Bersten.
