As you are all aware, I had to leave the show last week to take care of some personal issues. I take full responsibility for my absence," the professional dancer, 37, tweeted on Wednesday, October 4. "And want to apologize to my partner Vanessa. We are both looking forward to dancing for our fans next week!"As previously reported, the partners have had difficulties working together. "There is a lot of fighting going on behind the scenes," a source told Us Weekly exclusively. “Their personalities are very similar so they disagree about everything. They refuse to give into one another.”
