What You Didn’t See on DWTS’ Wicked Night: The Jackass Star Supporting His Friend, Plus 1 Husband in Elphaba Makeup (Exclusive)

Dancing with the Stars fans are going to want a part two after Wicked night.
As contestants danced through life during the Tuesday, Oct. 21 episode of the ABC competition series, PEOPLE was on site to see all of the celebrities in attendance supporting them — including one devoted husband who took things to the next level.
Week six of season 34 featured performances to some of the musical-turned-blockbuster’s biggest hits, including “Defying Gravity.” And a few competitors certainly defied gravity, as Jordan Chiles and partner Ezra Sosa were among those to snag their first 10s during their rumba to “For Good.”
Still, not every moment was captured on camera.
During the show, Whitney Leavitt’s husband, Conner, stepped out in support of his wife and her dance partner Mark Ballas as they performed a quickstep to “Popular.” During the performance, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star was decked out in Glinda gear — so Conner returned the favor as he cheered her on.
While at the ballroom, and as pictured on Instagram, Conner dressed up as Elphaba, going as far as painting his face green for the occasion.
The good luck charm apparently had some impact, as Whitney and her partner ended the episode with their first 10s of the season, as well. She also saw support from her kids, as she was spotted spinning her 5-year-old daughter Sedona around backstage.
Other stars in attendance included Dwight Howard, Johnny Knoxville, Ilona Maher, Cesily Collette Taylor and Lisa Ann Walter, the latter of whom supported pal Elaine Hendrix and partner Alan Bersten.

Scott Hoying and partner Rylee Arnold — who performed a contemporary routine to “The Wizard And I” — even snapped some photos with the biggest wizard in attendance, Wicked director Jon M. Chu.
Not in attendance this week were DWTS alum Bindi Irwin and her 4-year-old daughter Grace, who are no strangers to supporting her brother Robert Irwin this season. Bindi later revealed on social media that she and her daughter weren’t able to attend Wicked night because her little girl wasn’t feeling well.
“We absolutely adore being in the audience to celebrate Uncle Robert on @dancingwiththestars,” Bindi, who shares Grace with husband Chandler Powell, wrote. “This week, Grace has a little cold so we’re going to cheer from our living room. 🩵.”
The night wasn’t Wicked for everyone, however, as Scott and Rylee were ultimately sent packing, but not before offering some parting words. “Rylee is my favorite person ever,” Scott said. “I had so much fun. It’s Wicked night. It’s the perfect way to go.”
Rylee added that she “couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
