Lisa Vanderpump Faints During 'DWTS' Rehearsal
Lisa Vanderpump has already admitted that competing on "Dancing With The Stars" was challenging, but the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star is now sparking concerns over her health.
According to reports on Monday, Vanderpump and her professional dance partner Gleb Savchenko were rehearsing their dance routine ahead of Monday's episode of "DWTS."
While hard at work practicing the dance, the 52-year-old reality television star fainted, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Despite the scare, Vanderpump is expected in the ballroom on "DWTS" tonight, although her appearance has not been confirmed.
So far, season 16 of "DWTS" has proven to be lackluster for Vanderpump and her partner, who narrowly avoided elimination last week.
Vanderpump lamented her addition to the cast of "Dancing With The Stars" after sustaining injuries during dance rehearsals in weeks prior. Like many celebrities on the show before her, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star said she was "covered" in bruises.
"I look OK on the outside, but inside I'm falling apart," Vanderpump revealed while speaking to Access Hollywood.
In the past, celebrity contestants on "DWTS" have suffered from injuries that include sprained ankles, sore backs, and fractured ribs.
"Oh my God- I'm covered in [bruises]," Vanderpump added. "I mean, it's so much harder than I thought it would be! I have to be honest. It should come with a health warning."
"We don't have the routine down," British-born Vanderpump told Access Hollywood just days before their performance. "It's a bit of a rush. I think everybody is struggling. I think I can speak for everybody else, because I've been talking to the other cast [members]."
Fellow season 16 cast members include "The Bachelor" star Sean Lowe, MTV star and comedian Andy Dick, and country music singers Winona Judd and Kellie Pickler.
Comedian D.L. Hughley, Disney star Zendaya, and German actor Ingo Rademacher have also joined "DWTS" this season, along with athletes Jacoby Jones, Aly Raisman, Victor Ortitz, and former Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill.
"DWTS" airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. EST and Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.
