Beloved children’s entertainer Jimmy Rees a.k.a Jimmy Giggle, has had to withdraw from Dancing with the Stars due to a sudden complication with one of his young sons. Jimmy has three sons with his wife, Tori, Lenny and twins Vinny and Mack.
Jimmy wrote on his Facebook page.
As mentioned above, he says while he’s sad to have to pull out of the competition, he needs to be with his family first and foremost. He issued an update on little Mack, saying he’s going very well and is recovering. A statement on the Facebook page noted that Mack had gone into hospital for a routine procedure but encountered complications.
The dad of three issued a thank you to everyone involved with the show and said he had a blast dancing.
We wish Jimmy, Tori and the kids all the best and cannot
Jimmy is a much-loved member of the Dancing with the Stars cast, and it’s a shame that he had to withdraw. But his family comes first. He loves his boys and only wants what is best for them. Lenny, Vinny, and Mack will grow up appreciating life thanks to men like their father.
It truly is terrific to see a guy like Jimmy raising awareness of a situation like Mack’s. Something so simple can do so wrong without warning, which needs to be discussed. We applaud Jimmy’s bravery and talking about the situation and providing updates regarding his little boy.
We hope there is a time in the future when Jimmy would get a second chance to dance again. It would indeed be a blast to see.
Dancing with the Stars continues tonight at 7:30 on Channel 10.
