Make Page Six a Preferred Source “Dancing With the Stars” pro Jenna Johnson revealed she broke her nose ahead of tonight’s live show.
“Last night I definitely broke my nose during camera blocking,” Johnson said in an Instagram video on Monday.
The 32-year-old put the camera closer to her face to show her followers that her nose is “a little swollen.”
“No black eyes today, which is awesome, but if my nose looks four times the size, that’s why,” she added.
Johnson captioned her clip, “Salsa: 1. Jenna’s Nose: 0. Happy Show Day 😊.”
Her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, commented, “1of1 ❤️ still a baddie.”
Later in the day, Johnson shared a video on her Instagram Stories where she smiled and gave a thumbs up while sitting in the hair and makeup chair on the show’s set.
Johnson and her partner, Harry Shum Jr., are dancing the salsa to “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars on “Grammy Night.”
The pair are immune from the dance-offs round and will automatically receive bonus points since they have the highest cumulative points in the season so far.
Johnson and Shum Jr., 44, got perfect scores from the judges during “Disney Night” and “Horror Movie Night” the last two weeks.
During “Super Bowl Night” on Oct. 13, judge Carrie Ann Inaba harshly called out Johnson for including a lift in her and Shum Jr.’s samba to “Yeah!” by Usher.
Johnson told co-host Julianne Hough that she “totally understood” Inaba’s comments after the tense moment.

But an insider claimed that Johnson cried backstage and “was comforted” by Chmerkovskiy, “who was pissed” about the incident.
Chmerkovskiy, 40, defended his wife on social media by referencing Will Smith’s infamous 2022 Oscars slap, which got him suspended from the show for one week.
“Val’s social media post was inappropriate and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show,” BBC Studios, who produces the show, said in a statement. “As a result, he will not participate in next week’s show.”
Chmerkovskiy apologized to Inaba and said he “deeply” regretted the controversial social media post.
Inaba, for her part, said in her own statement that she and Johnson “hugged it out” and they “worked through the moment.”
Chmerkovskiy and Inaba later reconciled during a “cathartic” conversation in front of the live audience during “Horror Movie Night” on Oct. 27.
