If you’ve been watching the show’s latest iteration, you already know that Hilaria lasted a total four episodes before getting the boot — and it honestly sounds like that might’ve been a good thing for her physical well-being.
During a recent appearance on Tori Spelling’s MisSPELLING podcast, Hilaria disclosed the physical pain she went through while being a part of the competition — and it sounds like it was far from a walk (dance?) in the park.
Hilaria specifically referred to injuries sustained from the outfit she wore during the first week of Season 34 — a lime-green number that you can see below:
“It was actually really, really tight,” Hilaria said about the outfit. “They made it a little bit too tight on my neck, so I was bruised, too, the next day.”
Hilaria went on to say that the costume dug into “all my collarbones, the back of my neck, because of how tight the dress was.”
Hilaria also claimed that while dancing the tango the following week with DWTS partner Gleb Savchenko, her elbows had to be taped “because I was getting this awful pain” after Gleb “threw me around into a trick towards the end.”
If all that wasn’t enough, Hilaria also said that she was no fan of the Star Wars-inspired garb she donned during Disney Week, which just so happened to be the week of her elimination.
Hilaria said the outfit “was probably my least favorite,” and for good reason: “It was just so much fabric. It was like, we kept on catching each other on it and made it hard to dance.”
All in all, the experience doesn’t sound too pleasant. Remind me never to go on DWTS! (If I did though, I’d totally win.)
