Sharon Battiste faces a very special “Let’s Dance” challenge on Friday: she has to change partners shortly before the show.
Sharon Battiste (31) previously danced with professional dancer Christian Polanc (44) across the floor in “Let’s Dance” – but now the ex-Bachelorette has to change. Her partner is out for Friday’s episode, as reported by RTL.
Polanc has had a painful inflammation in his foot since the second show. But a replacement is already available: Alexandru Ionel (28), who had to leave the show on the first show, is already training with the 31-year-old. Ionel was eliminated from the competition last Friday with model Alex Mariah Peter (25).
Special Challenge: Contemporary to REM
Battiste also shared the news in her Instagram story with praying hands and a heart. Battiste and Ionel are now faced with the challenge of preparing for the first contemporary dance of the season in a few training hours together. The professional dancer is optimistic: “I really hope that it will be great in the few hours we have.”
The motto of the second decision show is “Born in”: Each couple dances to a song from the year the celebrity was born. Battiste and Ionel will be doing REM Polanc’s “Losing My Religion” from home and is “giving a really good thumbs up” for both of them and hopes to be fit again next week.
