Brinkley, who seemed to be in good spirits as she joked about her injury said,

"Showbiz is all about getting a break, and Sailor and I both got one on Dancing With the Stars this season. Sailor joined the cast when I got mine…ouch somebody stop me, it hurts to laugh!"

As a result, her daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook will be taking her role on the show. Reacting to the unexpected change, Sailor who perfectly fits into her mom's performance outfit as she gets ready for the show premiere told GMA, she was excited about the challenge.

Sailor has a modeling career and has met with a lot of success as a signed model with top agency IMG. Elaborating on her feelings about joining DWTS, she said:

"I felt this high of just attacking something I was so afraid of, and it felt like something I need to do," she told GMA. "I think it will change me."

Since Christie was injured well into the two-week rehearsal period before the DWTS season premiere, Sailor stepped in to learn the dance after other celebrities already had tons of time to rehearse their numbers and learn their dancing moves in the ballroom.

The model turned actress has modeled for brands such as 1.State and CAMILLA and magazines such as Stellar Mag. Just a week before she unexpectedly joined the DWTS cast, she was a guest at Harper Bazaar's ICONS events.
