Hough subsequently wrote he was "feeling a little better" on Friday and he spent the weekend recovering before going outside for the first time in three days on Sunday.

"It sucks being alone, especially when your sick," he wrote on Sunday.  "Saw Joanna and Maks dance today, really proud of her ... And Maks did a great job with her ... If she went home this week. I would totally Blame myself, please vote."
