Bill Nye the Science Guy has been injured on the set of Dancing With the Stars. A fan favorite, Bill suffered a torn ligament from falling mid-routine during Monday’s live episode. But the 57-year-old is not about to quit if he can help it. He is said to be “in good spirits and is really hoping he can continue to compete.”

Nye explained his accident by saying, “I stepped on the cuff of these fancy slacks and I went down.” He added, “We’ll do R.I.C.E. – just rest, ice, compression, elevation [and] see where we get.”

Bill went to the hospital right after the injury occurred. The show said about the tumble, “Bill Nye was injured during his performance and is currently seeking medical attention…We will continue to keep you posted on his progress.”

Bill sent this photo of his injured leg on Instagram, posing with his dance partner Tyne Stecklein. “Here is the scoop: partially torn ligament,” Nye wrote. “Awaiting the doc’s orders with Tyne. We plan to dance! Stand by.”
