“Dancing with the Stars” contestant, performer MARIE OSMOND, collapsed on live TV during the show’s broadcast Monday night after dancing the samba.
The show immediately cut to commercial and host TOM BERGERON announced after the break that Marie was doing fine and had just fainted. He noted that the first thing she said when she woke up was, “Oh crap.” After coming to, she soldiered on and waited patiently for her scores backstage with partner JONATHAN ROBERTS before being seen by a medic. Roberts later said that Osmond was out cold for about 30 seconds; he also noted that she was breathing hard and that he could feel that something was wrong before she fainted.
After the commercial break, Osmond was backstage with Roberts and said, “Once in a while that happens to me when I get winded. … You don’t plan those things. I’m so sorry!” She went on to joke, “I am Sleeping Beauty, sleeping on the job!”
