LOS ANGELES — Rocco DiSpirito will serve seconds on “Dancing with the Stars.”
The celebrity chef came in last place on the ABC dancing competition, but he wasn’t dismissed because injured contestant Misty May-Treanor dropped out of the competition Monday. The two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist had surgery Tuesday to repair her Achilles’ tendon that was torn while rehearsing a jive routine Friday.
