Lance Bass: Cloris Leachman in "Good Spirits"

Former Dancing With the Stars contestant Cloris Leachman, 82, who sought medical attention last week, is already on the mend.

“I spoke to Cloris today…She sounded okay," DWTS competitor Derek Hough told Extra She’s in good spirits and I just hope my girl gets better. I love her.”

Lance Bass, and his partner Lacey Schwimmer, also sent Leachman well wishes.

“Cloris, I got you some chicken noodle soup with your name on it. I’ll bring it over!” Bass told Extra.

"Knowing Cloris, she’s going to be back with rhinestones next week. You watch," Schwimmer joked.

Added Bass: "[She's] kicking back whiskey. She’s fine!”

Entertainment Tonight first reported Leachman got sick after attending the Lint Roller party in Hollywood Nov. 13.

Leachman "had a slight cough and wasn't feeling totally herself," her rep told Usmagazine.com Monday. "She went and sought medical attention from her doctor."

"She is currently at her home, and is expected to tape something for Dancing With the Stars later this week," the rep added. "This will have absolutely no affect on any of Cloris' upcoming projects."

She's expected to appear on the Nov. 25 finale of DWTS.
