"Dancing with the Stars" pro Cheryl Burke shared an emotional video Sunday, revealing she tested positive for COVID-19 and would not be able to tape the upcoming episode of the competition show.
"Unfortunately, I am on my way to take a COVID test, because not only do I feel scared and at a loss for words, I feel run down a little bit," Burke said in the video, which was taken in her car. She added that she is fully vaccinated.
In the second part of the video, the dancer gives an update after receiving the results for her rapid test: "I have really bad news. I am positive, which means I have COVID." Burke, who is partnered with Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, is visibly teary-eyed in the video.
