Series producer BBC Worldwide Productions said Wednesday that Braxton asked to withdraw from the ABC TV dance contest for medical reasons, which it did not specify.

On her Instagram account, Braxton wrote that she’s been diagnosed with blood clots in her lungs and was announcing her departure from the show with a heavy heart. She’s also dropping out as a guest singer with Kem’s Promise to Love tour, she said.

Braxton posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed, looking wan and holding a teddy bear. Her Dancing with the Stars partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, was at her side.

Her decision came after she nearly missed last Monday’s show.

Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron told the audience that Braxton had been taken to the hospital earlier in the day, after a dress rehearsal.

Toward the end of the live broadcast, Braxton was shown rushing back to the studio to rejoin Chmerkovskiy on stage to avoid elimination.

Braxton, a Grammy-nominated singer, is a co-host on The Real talk show and starred in the reality show Braxton Family Values.
