Heavy/ABC Daniella Karagach and Jason Mraz are sick.
Aseason 32 couple will be giving it their all on the November 21, 2023, live show, after both battling sickness through the week of rehearsals.
“Dancing With the Stars” pro Daniella Karagach gave fans an update on her and partner Jason Mraz ahead of Taylor Swift Night, explaining that they’ve both come down with something, which has really affected their practices — and their social media presence.
“We’ve been MIA,” Karagach said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories on November 19, 2023. “Because two of us have been sick,” she said attempted to say through a cough and while Mraz was making her laugh. “Anyway, we’ve both been sick for the past week. And we feel horrible. But, we’ll be there Tuesday,” she continued, starting to cough again.
Now, some fans are worried that Karagach and Mraz’s illnesses could hurt them since they haven’t been able to give 110%. Many are hoping to come together to get Karagach and Mraz the votes they need to get them into the semifinals.
