“Getting ready for week 2 with @glebsavchenkoofficial @dancingabc #dwts (for those of you asking. I sprained my rib muscles but I’m a tough cookie and I’m gonna fight through it. Thanks for the love!!!)” she captioned an arresting photo of the pair leaning nonchalantly against a bright red wall with the DWTS logo on it.

On the September 12 premiere, the pair performed the “raunchiest, sexiest, hottest” Viennese waltz ever, according to judge Bruno Tonioli. “Can you two do it all over again, please,” the enthusiastic panelist said while giving the duo feedback after their performance. “I just want to make sure I wasn’t having an X-rated fantasy.”
