Artem Chigvintsev has revealed that he will be taking a break from the hit TV show ‘Dancing With the Stars.’
‘Dancing With the Stars’: Artem Chigvintsev Withdraws From The Show’s Tour Citing Health Reasons
The show is set to have its very own tour for which there has been so much anticipation. And given that Artem has been a mainstay professional dancer on the show for many a year, it was surprising to see him make that announcement.
But rather than it being a sign of disgruntlement towards the show, it turned out that he had done it on the grounds of his health.
In a post to his fans on Instagram, he said: “Hi DWTS family – My time on tour so far has been wonderful – unfortunately I am having to step away from tour for a while, due to some unexpected health issues.”
This decision is entirely understandable for the following reasons. First of all, he does have a son Matteo to look after. And given that he also has to make sure that his fiancée Nikki Bella is in a good place, the last thing that he wants to do is take some unnecessary risks with his health.
Secondly, given that his following comments suggest that he will be looking to make a return as soon as possible, that is where his focus has firmly been.
He added: “My goal is to recover as quickly as possible so I can rejoin my cast and crew on this incredible tour. Thank you for your patience and understanding. See you soon.”
Nevertheless, a certain subset of fans continued to worry by virtue of the fact that Artem did not disclose what he was suffering from.
Although it is entirely understandable that the dancer would be looking to keep his medical information private, the very fact of the matter is that it did not stop people from worrying.
This is especially true in light of the pandemic that we are going through, where there is an immediate assumption that any illness could be related to Covid.
Hopefully, Artem can get back to his usual self. And the fans will be there to support him every step of the way. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
