Simone Biles Scared Silly by ‘DWTS’ Partner’s Prank on ‘Ellen’

Simone Biles, an Olympic gold medalist and a current Dancing With the Stars contestant, stopped by Ellen on Monday, where she got quite the surprise from her DWTS partner, Sasha Farber. Farber is known to be a bit of a prankster, and he had yet to prank Biles. He waited until she had just finished gushing about him to jump out of the fake table next to her, and her reaction was priceless.

Biles screamed when Farber jumped out, and she held her chest as he triumphantly ran backstage. Maybe this is just payback for the way he felt when he first met her.

“It was scary because I believe that’s the first time she ever danced with a boy,” Farber said. “So I was taking the mints, making sure my hair’s ready. I’m like, ‘OK, this is it. This is Simone Biles right now.’”

After Biles caught her breath and got her heart rate down after the surprise, she and Farber cut a rug, dancing the cha-cha.
