Heavy/ABC Alfonso Ribeiro was injured at Disney World.

Season 33 “Dancing With the Stars” cast member Alfonso Ribeiro was injured during a performance in Disney World. According to video posted by TMZ, the show’s co-host stepped on a trolley rail at Magic Kingdom and “rolled his ankle.”

In the video, the former Mirrorball Trophy winner was being held up by Julianne Hough and someone else, keeping his right leg off the ground. Hough appeared mildly concerned as someone went and grabbed a chair for Ribeiro to sit in. As the site points out, he appeared to be in a good amount of pain. Sources say that Ribeiro was put in a wheelchair and everyone watching cheered.

A source told TMZ that the ankle injury is “minor” and that the former “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” star will be okay.

Ribeiro and Hough were on-hand to film a holiday special at the Happiest Place on Earth. The pre-taped show will air on Christmas Day.

Heavy has reached out to a rep for Ribeiro for comment.

Fans Shared Videos From the Rehearsals

Prior to Ribeiro’s injury, he was dancing on Main Street USA alongside Hough and other dancers. In one video shared on TikTok, Hough was dressed in a sparkly gold ensemble while Ribeiro appeared more causally in khaki-colored slacks, a blue T-shirt, and a pair of sneakers.

“This was so fun to be apart of. Check it out Christmas Day on Disney+, ABC, and Hulu!!” someone captioned a TikTok video.
