"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Christie Brinkley broke her arm during rehearsals, so her daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, will be taking her place.
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - Christie Brinkley won't be dancing with the stars.
The 65-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" contestant broke her arm during rehearsals for the ABC show and won't be able to perform, but someone close to her will be taking her place -- her daughter.
"Showbiz is all about getting a break, and Sailor and I both got one on 'Dancing with the Stars' this season," Brinkley said in a statement, joking about her injury.
"She immediately said, 'I think I broke it,'" co-executive producer Deena Katz said of Christie Brinkley after she broke her arm during "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsals.
