(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Chaz Bono's dance partner hopes having Cher in the audience won't be too much of a distraction tonight.

Chaz has failed to impress the judging panel of Dancing with the Stars recently. He was bottom of the leader board with just 18 points last week, but avoided elimination after the public vote saved him.

Chaz's mother Cher was thrilled to see him survive for another week and is planning to come and see him perform the paso doble tonight.

His professional partner Lacey Schwimmer is worried that people might be too busy looking out for Cher and could miss Chaz's performance.

"I think it's going to be hard because people will stare at her and not really at you," Lacey said, before joking, "[That] could be a good thing."

Chaz is also concerned that his mother won't be able to drum up as much support for him on her Twitter page as usual as she is in the audience.

"It'll be hard because she won't have her phone to tweet," he explained.

Cher won't be the only friendly face in the audience tonight.

Chaz's half-brother Chesare Bono and his girlfriend Jennifer Elia are also expected to attend

Although Lacey has joked about Chaz's faltering performances on Dancing with the Stars, she is confident he will impress this week.

"This dance just connects with him a lot more," she revealed.

Chaz is also happy with the training he has done for the paso doble.

"Somehow I was able to get this dance down and memorised in a day," he beamed. (C) Cover Media
