Alyson Hannigan had to foxtrot her way around an intense migraine and vomiting just hours before her routine on Tuesday's episode of Dancing With the Stars.
The 49-year-old actress fell ill leading up to the show, which was set to tape its Motown Night episode, and didn't know if she'd be able to hit the dance floor. Her official diagnosis was a migraine, Hannigan told EW after her performance with partner Sasha Farber. "I didn't realize migraines can also cause you to just throw up anything in your body," she said.
Hannigan got through the messy ordeal with anti-nausea and migraine meds. "I had to fill up all the things that were depleted," she said. "It's getting very graphic. I'm sorry. But anyway, lots of electrolytes."
"And a big bucket next to her," Farber added.
"I did," Hannigan replied. "I came to work with my own bucket."

"She had two partners this week," Farber quipped.
Hannigan added, "I did. I had the bucket and you had to pull over four times on the way to work. It's pretty gross. I didn't even know how I'd get here, let alone dance."

As they say, the show must go on. And despite Hannigan's illness, she and Farber earned a solid 24 out of 40 from the judges for their lively foxtrot to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
Following Jamie Lynn Spears and partner Alan Bersten's elimination last week, Tuesday's episode served as the last dance for model and actor Tyson Beckford and his partner Jenna Johnson. Reality TV star Ariana Madix and partner Pasha Pashkov tied with singer-songwriter Jason Mraz and partner Daniella Karagach for the top spot with scores of 34 out of 40.
