As the countdown continues toward the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," one of the first celeb contestants to be injured this season has come forward.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay revealed via Twitter what kind of injury he sustained while rehearsing.

DeLay tweeted Tuesday: "No stress fracture! It is a pre-stress fracture. I live for another day."

The politician, who is partnered up with Cheryl Burke for the upcoming season of "DWTS," also tweeted: "Old age is catching up to me…No worries, it'll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor."

"Dancing with the Stars" will bring you back to the ballroom when the hit show premieres Monday, Sept. 21 on ABC.
