It’s confirmed: Marie Osmond is a knockout.

“Dancing With the Stars” looked more like a boxing match than a dancing competition Monday night when Osmond’s fainting spell sent her crashing to the floor moments after her samba performance with dance partner Jonathan Roberts.

Osmond was OK and later told the live TV audience that “once in a while that happens to me when I get winded.”

“I feel bad that it happened,” the 48-year-old singer told “Entertainment Tonight” in an interview that was to air Tuesday night. “Right at the beginning … I started getting lightheaded. The only thing I can think of, I have allergies. … The air quality (in L.A.) is terrible. And I think I just couldn’t get my breath.”

But Osmond should be dancing next week — fellow contestant Mark Cuban got the boot Tuesday night.
