'They're safe': Heather Morris reveals DWTS partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy and fiancée Peta Murgatroyd had 'run-in' with intruder by home
Dancing With The Stars professionals Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his fiancée Peta Murgatroyd were faced with an intruder by their home, claims Glee actress Heather Morris.
The 30-year-old star was on Good Morning America on Tuesday, discussing her shock elimination from the dancing competition series, when reporter Lara Spencer noted her partner was unable to be present for the follow-up interview due to a 'personal emergency.'
'Yes, you know, they had some sort of run-in with some man near their house, trying to break in, but the police were there, they took care of it. So, they're safe, and Peta's okay, that's the most important thing right now.'

Maksim popped the question to Peta in 2015 during their dancing show, Sway: A Dance Trilogy.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Shai, in January 2017.
A former backup dancer for Beyonce, Heather starred for six years on Glee as Brittany S. Pierce/Mercedes Jones.
Heather's previous dancing experience was speculated to give her an advantage in the competition.

She received perfect scores on Monday, but was still eliminated from the dancing show on Tuesday night.
Heather and Maksim were in the bottom two with Olympic ice skater Nancy Kerrigan and her partner, Artem Chigvintsev.
Her elimination was met with loud booing from the audience.
'In 24 seasons that is probably the most vocally unhappy reaction we've got about a result,' host Tom Bergeron said.
'I'm OK…it was very, very fun,' said Heather.
