Cody & Cheryl Will Return To The 'DWTS' Ballroom Following COVID Quarantine

Well, they never said the road to the mirror ball trophy would be easy. On Sept. 30, Cody Rigsby shared that he tested positive for COVID-19, just a few days after his DWTS partner, Cheryl Burke, announced her positive diagnosis. Like Cheryl, Cody is also fully vaccinated, so both cases are breakthrough cases. It was a tough blow to the Boo Crew who are cheering Cody on from home after he already missed a week in the ballroom due to Cheryl's positive test results. Naturally, fans were all wondering... would Cody return to Dancing With the Stars following his positive diagnosis, or was this the end of the road for the only man who was meant to perform during Britney Night?

Luckily, Cody got to fuck shit up to "Gimme More" during Britney Night, but with a tough round of scoring from the judges that landed him at the bottom of the pack, his future on the show felt very up in the air.
