‘My doctors discovered a health concern with my throat which requires immediate attention and surgery,’ The Real star said in a statement to Good Morning America. ‘I am heartbroken that my DWTS journey has to end here.’

She added, ‘I have pushed myself to new limits physically and mentally, and I am so proud of how far we’ve come.’

According to the Mayo Clinic, Epiglottitis is a potentially life-threatening condition.

It happens when the epiglottis — a small cartilage ‘lid’ that covers the windpipe — swells, blocking the flow of air into the lungs, the site stated.
