‘My ribs absolutely got smashed’: Kyly Clarke reveals the horrific injuries she suffered on Dancing with the Stars

She was the runner-up in this year’s season of Dancing with the Stars: All Stars.

And it appears Kyly Clarke didn’t get there without a struggle, revealing in an interview on Friday she’d suffered several nasty injuries during the competition.

The former WAG told News.com.au: ‘My ribs absolutely got smashed.’

‘There was lots going on,’ she added. ‘I still have a sore knee from doing the dance and slide on the floor. But at the end of the day, no pain, no gain.’

Kyly explained it had been years since she last did such rigorous training, so her body wasn’t prepared for the long rehearsals.

‘I am older, obviously I have had a child so you don’t really know how your body is going to respond to a different kind of exercise,’ she said.

Wearing a crop top with a white singlet and a pair of black tights, Kyly held her arm up to the camera to show one of the injuries. 

The brunette also rolled her tights up to show another bruise on her leg.  

She joked in the caption: ‘No of course not, it doesn’t hurt! Let’s just keep going for another few hours. I mean we have only done five hours!’

Kyly isn’t the only star who was wounded during filming.

Earlier this month, Renee Bargh said she’d fractured several bones and tore muscles while rehearsing the cha-cha with her dance partner, Jarryd Byrne. 

Renee posted images from her performance to Instagram, and wrote: ‘This moment made all the blood, sweat, tears, fractured bones and torn muscles worth it.’
