Ty & Chelsie: ET Tonight Interview

Ty Murray and his professional partner Chelsie Hightower finished in next to last place on last week’s “Dancing with the Stars,” so they are busy rehearsing this week’s quickstep routine — but not too busy to take a break to talk to ET.

“Chelsie is like a drill sergeant,” says Ty, who adds he is hoping to not to mess up this week.

Ty, a rodeo athlete famous for riding bulls, also tells ET that he has had to get his pants re-fitted for this week’s performance, since he has lost so much weight on the “Dancing with the Stars” diet: long hours of strenuous rehearsal.

And even though she had to hang up her dancing shoes as a result of a fractured tibia in both legs, his wife Jewel is being supportive.

“Dancing with the Stars” airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
