Jimmy Rees breaks down with the sad news

On 8 April 2019, the show DWTS put up a heart-breaking video in which Jimmy, 31 broke down as he spoke about the health care of his little son Mack. His newborn son suffered an accidental cut to a major blood vessel during a routine procedure. Jimmy said in the video:

“Tori and I were with him and the doctors there rushed him into theatre to stop his bleeding from the little artery that ruptured … and he was flown into the ICU at the children’s hospital,”

Jimmy continued:

“But for a moment there Tori and I thought that he might not have made it.”

He has to be with his child and hence withdrew from the competition. His son needed resuscitation and CPR which is difficult for a parent to witness.

The host of the show Amanda Keller tried to hold back tears when she heard about the illness of Jimmy’s child. She called it a nightmare scenario. She found it difficult to talk after seeing Jimmy struggling.

“We have a superhero party coming up, just trying the costumes on!!!
“We are all a fraction exhausted & delirious ????!!”

Jimmy further wrote:

“Also, Mack is out of hospital and home, continuing his recovery, still has a very sore mouth but he is getting there.
Wrapping him in cotton wool for a while now, the precious little fella.”
