Kendra Wilkinson charges Dancing With The Stars chiefs for stumble (Video): Kendra Wilkinson was not impressed with the smoke machine that was used for her recent Dancing With The Stars performance.  The reality TV star stumbled as she walked down the stairs surrounded by a big cloud after bosses insisted she use the stage effect. While she stopped short of falling over like her co-star Kirstie Alley, it did put the 25-year-old off balance.

She said to E! Online: 'You know what? I was fighting not to have it. I was asking people: "Please, I don't want to use this smoke machine." And they go: "Don't worry. We promise it will look good".''But I made sure everyone knew that I didn't want it. But what happened was exactly what I thought was going to happen. I didn't know where I was. I freaked out.

'I actually had a full dance routine in that smoke, but I actually had to stop the dance because I knew I had to spend this time to find myself out of this cloud.'Of the misstep, she says: 'That wasn't my fault. I can seriously say that.

'The smoke was overwhelming. We didn't practice that ... I didn't know where the steps were. I couldn't see one step in front of me.'Wilkinson, whose rumba to the track You and Me was dedicated to her husband Hank Baskett, still managed to get her highest score yet with 23. She was declared safe on last night's show with talk show host Wendy Williams being sent home.
