Cheryl Burke and Cody Rigsby to perform on ‘DWTS’ from home

They are still in contention for the Mirrorball trophy.

Cheryl Burke and Cody Rigsby will compete on “Dancing With the Stars” from home this week as they recover from COVID-19.

“Even though my partner and I have COVID, which I still feel so bad about… we’re going to dance again on Monday,” she announced on Twitter on Friday, adding that she had turned her living room into a ballroom.

“We’ll be dancing live, so be sure to tune in this Monday for something happening in the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ history books,” she said.

The DWTS pro announced in a video posted to Instagram last Sunday that she had tested positive for a groundbreaking case of COVID-19.

“It’s so upsetting because it’s Sunday and the show is tomorrow. I thought I should let you know since I’ve been as open and as real and as vulnerable as I can get here, ”Burke posted. “I just hope I haven’t spread it. For those of you who don’t think COVID is a real thing, it’s true, man. “

Four days later, Peloton instructor Rigsby announced that he had also caught the virus – for the second time in 2021.

“Although I have been fully vaccinated and have taken many precautions, per CDC guidelines, I recently tested positive for COVID-19,” the 34-year-old said on Instagram on Thursday. “To rest and recover well as well as to avoid exposing others, I’m going to take a break in the next few days. I appreciate all your support and will be back as soon as I’m ready.

Monday’s show will be dedicated to the tunes of Britney Spears, with Burke, 37, and Rigsby, 34, performing “Gimme More” from her 2007 album “Blackout”.

“Every version of Britney is iconic, and I can just tell you that I’m dancing to my favorite Britney Spears song of all time,” Rigsby said earlier this week. “I’m really, really excited to shake my boobs at my favorite icon.”
