She very well could have been the 'Dancing With The Stars' champ this year but contestant Jeannie Mai has to leave the show. The talk show host was recently hospitalized after learning she has a rare throat condition which affects breathing.
The condition known as epiglottis is a potentially life-threatening condition where small cartilage can swell and cover the windpipe, causing a blockage of airflow to the lungs. As a result, Jeannie was forced to leave 'DWTS.'
The daytime talk show host appears on "The Real" and is engaged to rapper Jeezy.
