America's Next Top Model winner, Nyle DiMarco, and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, wowed the judges and had everyone on their feet on Monday’s Dancing With The Stars premiere with their cha cha to “Cake By The Ocean” by DNCE. They received an incredible overall score of 23 out of 30 from the judging panel.
While there were plenty of great dancers, DiMarco was the clear stand-out. He and Murgatroyd did an amazing Cha Cha to DNCE’s catchy hit and it was shockingly good considering that he can't hear the music.
Not only did the 26-year-old model and actor showed off his dancing skills, he also flaunted his super sexy chiseled abs and that definitely captured the attention of the ladies.
DiMarco explained after his dance via an interpreter that he “hears nothing.” He said that he was able to do the dance by following Murgatroyd “with my eyes.”
Clearly, the judges were impressed. Len Goodman said, “It was terrific. I wasn’t sure about it for the beginning, but once you got into it … it just got better and better.”
Unfortunately, their path to a solid performance didn't come easy. During their rehearsal, Murgatroyd accidentally hit him in the face with her elbow while she whirled around him.
"Oh, my God," the pro dancer said as she ran to look at DiMarco's wound in the mirror. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I have never hit anyone that badly in my whole life."
Later, cameras showed the model outside of the hospital, with his eyebrow stitched together.
DiMarco definitely lived the "No Pain, No Gain" motto.
