Tyra Banks Visits Nyle DiMarco on ‘DWTS’; Things Get Emotional

Supermodel and America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks stopped by Dancing With the Stars to encourage Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco. “I came to visit Nyle today to remind him of just how amazing he is,” she said. “He started the competition strong and now it’s a little soft.” DiMarco was happy to see Banks and showed her his routine with his dance partner, Sharna Burgess.

Banks teared up watching the performance in rehearsal, and things only got more emotional from there. DiMarco and Burgess gave a beautiful performance that also left judge Carrie Ann Inaba in tears. After struggling to regain her composure, she told the model, who happens to be deaf, “At first I thought you were at a disadvantage, but then I realized that you’re at an advantage because you’ve been telling stories with your body and communicating with your body your whole life. You were born to dance.”

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
