Last fall, Arnold revealed she wouldn’t be a full-time cast member on this year’s tour due to her diabetes.

“So sad I won’t be on the DWTS tour this year,” she said on her Instagram Story in October. “Being on tour the last two years was seriously the most amazing experience ever. I’ve made the best memories and met the best people!!”

“This year I had to make the hard decision to sit it out and focus on my health, especially with managing my Type 1 diabetes which can be tricky on the road,” she continued. “I’m gonna miss it SO much but I’ll definitely be cheering everyone on and can’t wait to come watch!!”

Arnold was first diagnosed with diabetes at age 15, and has frequently shared her journey with the illness on social media platforms.
