Alyson Hannigan faced a challenging situation on ABC‘s and Disney+’s Dancing With the Stars Tuesday episode.
Just hours before her performance, the 49-year-old actress endured an intense migraine and vomiting. This presented a major concern as Hannigan wasn’t sure if she could take the dance floor. The diagnosis revealed she had a migraine. Hannigan shared she “didn’t realize migraines can also cause you to just throw up anything in your body.”
To overcome this ordeal, she relied on antinausea and migraine medications. She had to replenish her body with electrolytes. In fact, she was even prepared with a big bucket by her side, brought by her dance partner, Sasha Farber.
Jokingly, Farber mentioned that he also played the role of a partner this week, referring to holding the bucket for Hannigan during their journey to work, which included multiple stops due to her illness. Despite the challenging circumstances, Hannigan and Farber delivered a lively foxtrot performance to the tune of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.
They received a solid score of 24 out of 40 from the judges. This week also marked the elimination of Jamie Lynn Spears and her partner Alan Bersten, as well as the exit of model and actor Tyson Beckford and his partner Jenna Johnson.
Meanwhile, reality TV star Ariana Madix and her partner Pasha Pashkov, along with singer-songwriter Jason Mraz and his partner Daniella Karagach, tied for the top spot with scores of 34 out of 40.
Dancing With the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm ETPT on ABC and Disney, with episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.
