But when the Worth It singer attempts to do a jumping split, things do not go as planned.

'Ow,' she groans while her Russian-born partner holds her up.

'Did you twist your ankle?' he asks, 'Well, let's get ice on it.'

The dancer quickly turns to caretaker, fetching ice and consoling his partner with calm and confidence.

Last minute changes: The pair should still be able to compete, but it looks like they'll simplify their routine because of the starlet's injuries. Above you can see a snapshot from DWTS finale rehearsals

Although the pair should still be able to compete, it looks like they may have to simplify their routine and ditch their jump.

Normani and Val are currently in first place in the celeb dancing competition, ranked ahead of duo Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater, as well as partners David Ross and Lindsay Arnold.

The series finale of Dancing With The Stars airs in two parts, starting at Monday May 23 at 8pp on ABC.
