Overview
- Sinató said on Instagram it had been a turbulent and emotional week marked by the loss of a loved one, without sharing details.
- Esther Schweins withdrew from the RTL dance contest on medical advice after performing with two broken ribs, as one rib had shifted and raised the risk of further harm.
- Her departure automatically ended Sinató’s run, since each celebrity–pro pair leaves the show together when one cannot compete.
- The dancer left the studio during Friday’s live broadcast after a death in the family, according to multiple reports covering the show.
- Sinató praised Schweins as a wonderful person and wished her a quick recovery, saying he loved teaching and dancing with her.
