Just minutes into his very first rehearsal, Preston damaged a tendon in his ankle. He thought his time on the show was over.
"My immediate reaction was, 'Oh, I can't do it now,'" he told TV WEEK.
The food critic announced in May he would be joining the dancing competition.
"Time for something totally new and way out of my comfort zone," he wrote on Instagram, along with a promotional video for the series.
In an interview with Stellar's Something To Talk About podcast, Preston revealed it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
"An opportunity like Dancing comes along and you go, ‘I don’t need to do it.’ And then you go, 'Well, let’s have a crack.'," he said.
"There’s one word that I keep hearing a lot from certain people of a certain age who’ve achieved a lot, and that’s the fear of 'humiliation'."
"I think this is a really debilitating idea, this idea that your children are going to think less of you or your friends are going to joke about you," he continued.
"Humiliation is just an anxiety that really has no place in the modern world."
Preston forfeiting from the competition means Wanganeen and his dance partner Megan go straight through to the next round.
