'Dancing with the Stars': Vinny Guadagnino gets support from ‘Jersey Shore’ cast Video

From fist-pumping at clubs to stepping out to a Samba, reality television star Vinny Guadagnino brought a piece of "Jersey Shore" to "Dancing with the Stars" this week. 

It was a "Jersey Shore" reunion, as cast members Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino and Pauly "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio supported their costar from the audience during the Disney-themed night for the dance competition.

"The best was…when we were just in the back chilling, and I saw them…my boys came in, and we were just…having a good time partying," Guadagnino exclusively told Fox News Digital.

"When those two came in, then his accent got stronger. All of a sudden [it] became Jersey real quick. It was the best," Koko pointed out.

Guadagnino also opened up to Fox News Digital about his anxiety while being on "Dancing with the Stars."

"This competition has brought out my anxiety because it's stage fright like I've never felt before. I'm going to do something that I've never done before on live television, and it has to be damn near perfect," he exclusively told Fox News Digital.

"It's brought out this anxiety… every time we overcome it… look back on it and be like, ‘Wow…I really did that.’"
