Joey Graziadei Wanted DWTS Partner in a 'Healthy' Relationship

Jenna Johnson

Jenna Johnson confesses to Life & Style that her and Joey Graziadei’s “bodies have been going through it” while filming the physically demanding show. “We’ve been incorporating hot and cold therapy into our routine, which has been super helpful,” shares the former Mirrorball Trophy winner, 30. Another thing that keeps Jenna and Joey, 29, going? “Pickleball,” she says of staying active with the low-impact paddle sport between the fancy footwork. “Can’t forget about pickleball.”

Ilona Maher

On filming days, Ilona Maher reports to set long before she and Alan Bersten hit TV screens. “I have to be in the makeup and hair chair for about three hours,” the rugby pro, 28, spills to Life & Style. “[Alan] walks in, they put a little bit on him, and he’s good.” While glam may be new to Ilona, Alan, 30, says her history as a two-time Olympian gives her an edge in the competition, “Physically, she’s great!”

Tori Spelling

Early on in their working relationship, Pasha Pashkov advised Tori Spelling to stay hydrated. “She goes, ‘Yeah, I hydrate a lot; I don’t drink water, though. I only drink Dr Pepper,’” Pasha, 38, recalls to Life & Style. The 90210 alum, 51, explains that Diet Dr Pepper is her “happy place” — but she does sip on ginger ale if she’s “feeling melancholy.” Following the pair’s September 24 ouster, Tori had mixed emotions, so she joked she was going to swig a combo of the two sodas.

Eric Roberts

After a few weeks of two-stepping with Britt Stewart, Eric Roberts discovered an unusual ailment. “He got a little twinge in his back,” Britt, 35, tells Life & Style. “He went to a physical therapist, and they diagnosed him with a weak butt.” The King of the Gypsies star, who was eliminated on October 8, was embarrassed by the diagnosis at first, but “Britt made my butt very firm,” Eric, 68, insists of their training, adding that his wife, Eliza, 71, is pleased by the results.

Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard lets it rip on the ballroom floor — perhaps a bit too much. “All his farts are pretty heavy,” partner Daniella Karagach, 31, dishes to Life & Style. The basketball player, 38, owns up to cutting the cheese, though he doesn’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing. “No matter what I eat, I’m just a gas man,” he says. “I’m just spreading love.”
