Pregnant Kaley Cuoco was feeling all the feels during Selma Blair’s emotional exit from Dancing With The Stars.

The Cruel Intentions actress revealed in 2018 that she’d been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and earlier this week she made the devastating decision to leave the hit dance competition due to health concerns.

Breaking the news to professional partner Sasha Ferber, she said: ‘You know I’ve been monitored and in touch with my doctors this whole process.

‘I had these MRIs and when the results came back, it just all adds up to I can’t. I can’t. I can’t go on with the competition. I pushed as far as I could.’

Selma’s last dance – which was a Waltz to What The World Needs Now Is Love – was certainly one to remember as she received a perfect 40 from judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Derek Hough.

And Selma wasn’t the only person in tears.

Big Bang Theory star Kaley – who confirmed she was expecting her first child earlier this month – was also overwhelmed by the touching moment and shared it with her 7.5million followers on Instagram.

After her boyfriend Tom Pelphrey asked if she was OK, she sobbed: ‘Selma just got four tens. I can’t handle it! I love her.’

The Legally Blonde star had previously performed blindfolded to help with sensory overload on the show.

Selma’s close friend and former co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar, shared a sweet tribute, writing on Instagram: ‘Long before @dancingwiththestars I knew you were a ten, and now the world knows. Selma I’ve never been so proud of you (and I’m often proud of you) You make the rest of us believe that we can do anything. That we can never give up.

‘And a special thank you to @sashafarber1 for making this experience what it has been for James- pure joy. I will miss getting to watch the happiness radiate from Selma each week as she stepped on stage with you. Thank you for that gift. And speaking of gifts- @selmablair your love and friendship is the greatest gift. I love you Blair.’
