It looks like professional dancer Derek Hough, won’t be making an appearance in this week’s episodes of “Dancing with the Stars,” as according to reports from buddytv.com, he is reportedly off sick at the moment.
Derek, who is partnered with Joanna Krupa in this season of the popular reality show, apparently took to his Twitter, to let his fans know that he wouldn’t be appearing this week, after suffering from flu-like symptoms.

He told his fans on Twitter, how his whole body was aching and that he had been coughing like mad. Although he said his condition had improved, he said that he still felt sick and at one stage, he had a temperature of 104.
But fans should not have to worry, as ABC have recently confirmed that Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who was previously ousted, will be temporarily taking over as Joanna’s dance partner, until Derek returns anyway.
