Another celebrity has suffered an injury while training for the eighth season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.

He may be known for his role as a thrill-seeking daredevil on the MTV series Jackass, this week Steve-O is struggling to stay on his feet after being diagnosed with a severe back injury that could send him hobbling to the sidelines on next Monday’s show.

The former MTV star has released a statement outlining his condition:

“A physical therapist has told me that nerves are being pinched in my back and it is in spasms because of inflammation related to torn muscles. I’m doing everything I can to let it heal; icing it, taking Advil, drinking water, visiting a chiropractor, and continuing to be worked on by the physical therapist. I’m still rehearsing every day, but walking through my salsa routine, rather than practicing the physical stunts and tricks that are incorporated into it. It is going to be a risky routine that I hope to pull off.”

Last week, Access Hollywood correspondent Nancy O’Dell and singer Jewel were forced to withdraw from DWTS after suffering serious injuries while rehearsing for the show.

On Thursday, contestants Steve Worzinak and Gilles Marini revealed that they too will dance on Tuesday’s show despite struggling with painful injuries this week.
