The HLN host's toddler twins Lucy and John David watched from the audience as their mother performed.
'I just wanna have fun and show my three-year-old twins that mommy can dance,' said Grace.
'Look, I'm know I'm not the youngest, prettiest or the skinniest in this bunch, but I've got the most heart.'
But the judges disagreed with each other on whether Grace had succeeded on the dance floor.
'Nancy, I had no idea you were so lavishly gifted. You've got the moves, but you don't seem to believe in yourself. You have it,' judge Bruno Tonioli said.
