"Hurt" - Ilona Maher's DWTS partner Alan Bersten makes his feelings known after trying hilarious dance moves with the Olympian

Ilona Maher's 'Dancing With The Stars' partner Alan Bersten was hurt after trying a few hilarious and challenging dance moves with the two-time Olympian. The pair were celebrating their reunion after their runner-up finish during the finale in November.

Maher was in Great Britain for nearly two weeks after the DWTS finale and signed a three-month contract with the Women's Premiership Rugby club Bristol Bears. The 28-year-old had a dramatic reunion with Bersten on her return to the United States last week but has now 'hurt' him during a hilarious dance practice video.

In a video posted by Maher on her Instagram handle on Sunday, the pair attempted various challenging dance moves with Bersten stretching his legs to the fullest in one scene. He was also seen spinning himself off on a table and claimed afterward that every dance step he performed during the video had hurt him.

"Every single one of these hurt me," Bersten commented under the post

The pair enjoyed incredible success during the 33rd season and were liked by judges and fans alike. They earned three perfect scores from the judges and following a fiery freestyle performance to “Femininomenon" during the finale, they finished as runners-up.
