In honor of Hayley Erbert Hough returning to the “Dancing With the Stars” ballroom Tuesday night, her husband Derek Hough shared an update on her health scare last year that could have nearly cost her her life.

The two were on tour with “DWTS” in December 2023 when Hayley suffered a seizure offstage. “It’s really hard to put into words,” the dancing champion-turned-judge tears up in the clip. “We rushed her to the hospital. She was still in her costume. And the doctor came to me and he said she had a severe brain hemorrhage, so they had to operate now.”

The doctor also told Hough, “She may not make it, and even if she does, she won’t be the same person.”

Hayley was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma due to a ruptured blood vessel. Doctors performed a craniectomy, removing part of her skull, to relieve pressure on her brain.

Hough previously shared the health scare on his Instagram page, telling fans: “It was a time full of uncertainty and fear, going from achieving our dreams on stage to a nightmare in the blink of an eye. Her recovery process was nothing short of a miracle.”

In keeping with the show’s upcoming theme, Dedication Night, the clip will air ahead of her first appearance since her surgery. Hayley had performed as part of the “Dancing With the Stars” group and on the show’s tour prior to her incident.

Additionally, Hayley and Derek will appear together, ABC confirmed on Tuesday. They married on August 26, 2023.

“Pretty Little Liars” actress Chandler Kinney, who is competing this season and has topped the leaderboard, responded with the comment “screaming.”

“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesday on ABC and streams on Disney+.
