Rachael Finch has revealed the gruesome injury she suffered during her dance rehearsals on Tuesday night.
The former Miss Universe Australia winner, 35, revealed on Instagram, she ‘broke her toe’ after her dance partner accidentally stepped on her foot with full force.
In the video posted to social media, Rachael explained she was experiencing a lot of pain as she lay on her bed with an ice pack on her foot.
She then moved the camera close to reveal her bruised and bloodied toe.
‘This is why you do not take up action sports in a competitive way like my nature at 35 years old,’ she said.
‘We will know more tomorrow but it’s most likely a broken toe. Absolute accident, we were just practising this step and then Dan was just standing back but stomped back with all his weight,’ she explained.
‘His Latin heel on his shoe stamped right on my open toe.’
‘I looked down and my toe was bruised instantly and blood started coming out. I knew I had to get home and ice my foot straight away.’

The injury comes after Rachael revealed the strict rules she sets for her kids when it comes to using technology.
The mother-of-two — who shares daughter Violet, eight, and son Dominic, five, with husband Michael Miziner — only lets her children have recreational screen time for an hour and a half per day.
Sharing her busy schedule on Instagram on Tuesday, the fitness influencer stated her kids are ‘allowed technology’ while she’s in meetings from 11.30am until 1pm.
She also mapped out her and her family’s tight schedule, which begins at 7am for breakfast time, followed by a walk, several meetings, her daughter Violet’s tennis practice and her dance practice.

Rachael also recently made headlines when she uploaded a video of herself jogging behind Violet while screaming words of encouragement as she competed in a cross country race.
She responded to those who criticised her approach to parenting in an Instagram video on May 30 and insisted she was just ‘motivating her child to do her best’.
‘Just a quick message to anyone wanting to criticise or personally attack me for wanting to support, encourage and motivate my child to do the very best that she can do,’ she said.
‘Just a couple of things. One, check your facts. And two, check back in eight or so years when Violet is an adult to see the progress.’

Journalists Amy, Kate and Sophie Taeuber meanwhile took aim at the mummy blogger on their Outspoken podcast.
‘I first saw people talking about this online before seeing the video, and at first I was like, “Oh, she’s probably just one of those supportive parents.” But this was the next level,’ one sister said.
‘I don’t understand how this school let her run behind her child during the race. Surely it would have been really off putting for the other kids?’ another agreed.
One sister pointed out that there would have been plenty of children running behind Rachael, given that Violet placed 12th out of 100.
‘Can you imagine the other mums there seeing this? [They’d be asking], “Why the hell is she allowed at the school on the course?”‘ another added.
Rachael recently caused controversy when she uploaded a video of herself jogging behind her daughter Violet while screaming words of encouragement as she competed against her peers. (Pictured: A screenshot from Rachael’s controversial video of Violet’s race)
While the triplets commended Rachael for showing interest in her daughter’s school activities, they claimed her behaviour that day ‘seemed a bit odd’.
‘It seems like she’s vicariously living through her child because this seemed to be one of her dreams,’ one podcaster said, as another agreed: ‘Oh, it was very difficult to watch.’
One sister insisted: ‘I would be pretty p**sed off if I was a parent at this school.
‘[Imagine if] I’m very excited for my child to be competing in this race, but I’m thinking, “Well, no wonder my child didn’t do so well when they’ve got the advantage of having their mum there breathing down their neck, telling them to keep going.”‘
