George Clooney's ex-girlfriend had TV viewers in America squirming on Friday when she revealed she dislocated her shoulder while rehearsing for TV show Dancing With The Stars - and then snapped it back into place.

Italian stunner Elisabetta Canalis made it past the first elimination round on the program earlier this week, but admits it wasn't without incident - or injury.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, she offered up footage of the moment her shoulder came out of its socket before casually stating, "I put it right back in. It happens all the time, since I was a little kid."
