Peta Murgatroyd was prepared to go on stage at her MAKS.VAL.PETA Confidential national tour show as usual on Saturday, until a sudden illness left her sidelined! In an emotional Instagram post, the Dancing with the Stars pro revealed she came down with a sudden and terrifying illness, and couldn’t even feel her legs as she attempted to go on with the show!
"I need to apologize to the people who attended our Grand Prairie, Texas show last night," Peta’s post began. “I have never missed a show due to illness in my entire professional dancing career."
"I woke up feeling a little nauseous but I was able to go about my day with Shai," Peta wrote of her one-year-old son, whom she shares with her husband and co-star Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
"In the afternoon, the vomiting (and you know what) started. I thought it was food poisoning. I had fever and chills and just tried to sleep it off before the show,” Peta explained. However, by the time the show was set to begin, Peta said she "could hardly walk and I couldn't feel my arms or legs."

"I had no idea how I was going to walk out that door. The opening music starts and I walked out onto stage. I tried my best to dance, but my legs were giving out," Peta wrote. "Apart from it being very embarrassing, it was very scary. I am so sorry for not being able to give you the show you all deserved."
Peta thanked her husband and brother-in-law, Val Chmerskovskiy, for taking care of her, and also thanked the crew for “altering the show according last minute.” “Your professionalism knows no bounds,” she wrote, adding that she was “feeling better today.”
