When stopping terrorist attacks is among your hobbies, obviously you're not going to let something trivial like a broken nose stop you.

Alek Skarlatos didn't have as much as a scratch on his face on Monday night's Dancing With The Stars, despite Emma Slater busting his face open just hours earlier.

The 23-year-old soldier was spinning his pro partner during rehearsals when she accidentally caught him with an elbow, busting his nose so badly the crew had to call in medics to attend to him.

Healed: Alek Skarlatos appeared unscathed on Dancing With The Stars despite Emma Slater 'breaking' his nose just hours earlier

‘I broke his nose,’ said the 26-year-old English beauty with a frown. ‘We just heard this crunch’.

Skarlatos later revealed doctors would confirm the diagnosis on Tuesday.

Week five of the dancing competition saw the stars switch up their usual partners - and the chemistry between Emma and Alek was immediate.

She admitted she ‘really wanted’ the Paris train hero to be her temporary partner, calling him ‘hench’ and ‘yolked’.

Skills: Nevertheless the pair managed to dance a scintillating rumba together

‘In English that means phwar,’ she said, making a demonstration about his bulging biceps.

‘I really like him,’ she conceded, before agreeing to go on a date with the hunky hero.

As they practiced their raunchy routine she instructed him to push his hands down her back and onto her bum, and Alek struggled to keep it together.

‘I tried to play it cool, but that lasted about ten minutes, I just couldn’t do it,’ he giggled. ‘She's just too hot. I couldn't keep my cool under those circumstances.'

And things only got steamier on the dancefloor, as the pair performed a sexy rumba together.

After their performance Carrie Ann Inaba said she witnessed ‘something happening on the dance floor’ but she encouraged Alex to ‘practise his facial expressions in the mirror’.

‘Well, part of his face was numbed by her elbow,’ joked the host Tom Bergeron.

Alek probably will not want to go back to his normal partner Lindsay Arnold, who got married just four months ago - incidentally with Emma as a bridesmaid.

It's been an emotional few days for the Army National Guardsman. Just days earlier, his fellow train hero, Spencer Stone, was hospitalized with stab wounds sustained in a fight outside a bar in Sacramento.

And had Skarlatos not been on the ABC show, he would have been in class at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where gunman Chris Harper-Mercer killed nine people last week.
