“Dancing with the Stars” judge Derek Hough announced Tuesday he has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Hough, who was previously a professional dancer on the show, announced the diagnosis in an Instagram video.

“Even though I’ve been fully vaccinated, I’ve just been diagnosed with a breakthrough case of COVID,” he said on the video. “I just found out and I feel OK. I feel strong, but I’m currently taking advice from medical professionals, doing everything I can to get better as fast as I can.”

He said is in quarantine. His post also noted that Hough’s planned shows in Las Vegas this week are being postponed.

Hough appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” Monday night.

His is at least the third COVID case to affect the ABC show this season. Dancer Cheryl Burke and her celebrity partner, fitness trainer Cody Rigsby, were previously diagnosed with COVID, but both have since returned to the competition.
