Kaitlyn Bristowe recently sustained an ankle injury on Dancing With The Stars.
But on Sunday, the Bachelorette beauty, 35, was back and ready to hop to it as she arrived at practice, sharing her ankle felt like a ‘new ankle.’
Meeting up in the parking lot with her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev, 38, the pair looked in good spirits a day out from showtime, as they walked to the studio.
