TV stuntman STEVE-O has been diagnosed with a hematoma after taking a nasty tumble while rehearsing for TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS.
The Jackass star fell on his microphone pack while trying to perfect a somersault during Monday's (16Mar09) dress rehearsal for the show, and was rushed to hospital.
He was still under medical supervision when the show went live, forcing him to miss a dance-off with partner Lacey Schwimmer.
He says, "I have a hematoma. In laymen's terms it means I grew a third butt cheek... A sprained vessel... I have a pinched nerve and my back is sprained."
But Steve-O has no plans to follow injured celebrities Jewel and U.S. TV presenter Nancy O'Dell and quit the show.
He adds, "I'll be fine."
Despite his no-show on Monday night's show, Steve-O avoided becoming the first dancer cut - that dishonour belonged to GoGo's singer Belinda Carlisle.
