Popular actress and singer Nela Pocisková stars again in the dance show Let’s Dance on Markíza TV. In 2010, she won Let’s Dance when she was only 18 years old. From that time on, she followed the show faithfully and dreamed of getting on the dance floor again. She succeeded in this after 16 years in the 11th series, where she competes with the best. In an interview for the website, she openly admitted that it was too much for her.
The contestants in the dance show have completed the fourth round. A real challenge awaited them in the form of a number with another contestant, while one of the judges prepared the choreography for them. It seems that this pace is too fast even for such experienced artists. Pocisková admitted in a live broadcast that she broke down emotionally during the week and experienced a mental breakdown.
In an interview with Markíza.sk, she revealed what was behind her crying. “On Monday, I thought I was exhausted. And on Tuesday, after the first test with Janko (Koleník, editor’s note), I found out that I wasn’t exhausted at all. Only now will I be exhausted.” she said with a laugh.
In the beginning of the show, Nele’s old injury came up – two cracked ribs. “And I, because my rib hurts… And it happened during the exams that I simply hit myself there many times. But unintentionally, of course, as it was a demanding choreography. So I guess it all just piled up in me… I needed to get it out. So I simply had a small breakdown there. And so I cried in that hall“, she admitted openly.
Judge Ďurovčík took charge of the situation and prepared a choreography for Pocisková and Koleník. “Well, Jano Ďurovčík then called his well-known surgeon, who told him that it’s not funny what I have there – inflammation of the rib bone. And that it can somehow end worse. So I got quite scared there and so on. Then the choreography was adapted so that we could manage it somehow so that it wouldn’t hit my ribs. And then, when we built it up a bit and I was… well, I’ll admit that I took some analgesics. That means I didn’t feel that much pain. Suddenly, the world is more beautiful,” Nela revealed that she had to reach for medication.
As the week progressed, she began to see it more positively. “And on Wednesday, when we had something built, it suddenly occurred to me that it might be possible, that I might be able to handle something, and that’s when I broke down that week. But what can I tell you with the passage of time, I normally feel that I am stronger. Whether mentally or physically, I’ll give anything“, the singer thinks.
Pocisková openly admitted that she thought about withdrawing from the show. “I have been dealing with this idea for several weeks. But only so that I don’t end up worse. I, on the other hand, value my health, my family and what is most important to me, and I will certainly not go over corpses. But then again, I’m a person who also knows how to go to the edge, I’ll admit that I don’t like to give up“, she did not hide the truth.
She is supervised by an expert. “I have my physical therapist and he said he would be the first to tell me enough is enough, right? So, if something worse were to happen, I certainly won’t push the saw, but it hasn’t happened yet. I even had the feeling that it was getting better, but during some test now that we had, it went a little wrong again. So, I won’t give up until I feel that I can’t give it anymore,” she added at the end.
