During their recorded pre-performance package, Skarlatos, who celebrated his 23rd birthday on October 10, called Slater “super attractive” and admitted to having difficulty concentrating on learning how to dance during their rehearsals.

Alek Skarlatos has suffered a nose injury just a few hours before Monday night’s Switch-Up Week competition, when his partner Emma Slater accidentally elbowed him in the face during rehearsal.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Alek can be seen practicing with partner Emma Slater when she accidently hits him in the nose with her elbow. Should Alek dance despite his injury?
However, Skarlatos’ rep tells ET that he will be performing in tonight’s show and the official diagnosis is expected tomorrow.
Dancing With the Stars airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
Ironically, Week 5 of Dancing With The Stars just happens to be “Switch-Ups”.

It hasn’t been an easy couple weeks for Alek Skarlatos. It’s unclear whether or nor this is the exact moment he may have broken his nose, but it still looks pretty painful. The American Train Hero will most likely be thrilled when Week 5 is in the books – and he can get back to dancing with Lindsay Arnold, you know the partner that has broken any of his bones.
