‘Dancing with the Stars’ pro Sasha Farber ‘in agony’ after back injury

November 16, 2020

There’s agony on the dancefloor as ‘Dancing with the Stars’ pro Sasha Farber barely made it to the semi-finals after suffering a debilitating back injury.

The dance pro, who’s partnering actress Justina Machado from TV hit ‘One Day at a Time,’ hurt himself during dress rehearsal on Monday, Page Six is told.

A show source said: “We were not sure if Sasha was going to be able to dance, he managed to hurt his back, and he already has a slipped disc, he was in agony.”

Producers went as far as teeing up show dance pro Brandon Armstrong to take Farber’s place.

The source said: “Brandon was learning the dance right before the show in case he had to step in and dance with Justina.”

Farber managed to join Machado for two dances — and they got a perfect 10 in their contemporary dance.

The duo are competing for a place in next week’s final on the ABC show, alongside Skai Jackson, Nelly, Kaitlyn Briscoe, Nev Schulman and Johnny Weir.
