Sad news struck a Dancing with the Stars performer this week.

Jane Seymour's mother passed away. That's why the actress missed last night's results show.

Word has been released, though, that Seymour will continue on with the competition because her mom was a big fan of the series. We wish her and Tony Dovolani the best of luck.
