Dancing with the Stars has a new co-host but its not much of a surprise. Brooke Burke, who previously appeared on the show as a contestant, has officially been named the new co-host of Dancing With The Stars.
On this morning’s Good Morning America, Tom Bergeron announced that Burke take over Samantha Harris’ role on the ABC competition series’ 10th season.
“She’ll be able to talk to the couples backstage with the perspective of having gone through it herself,” said Bergeron. “She looks OK, too.”
Samantha Harris, who has been a longtime co-host of “Dancing with the Stars”, is leaving the show.
Harris, 36, will not be returning for the series’ 10th season, which begins March 22, so she can focus on her other on-air roles. Harris also works as a correspondent for “The Insider” and “Entertainment Tonight”.
“I’ve loved every aspect of my time at Dancing With the Stars,” Harris said in a statement. “I’ve lived and breathed this incredible show for the last eight seasons, making lifelong friends along the way. It has given me so many wonderful opportunities.”
Dancing With the Stars professional Kym Johnson will be heading to Broadway to make her debut with the high-octane ballroom dance show, Burn the Floor, at the Longacre Theatre.
Johnson was the professional dancer who partnered with Dancing With the Stars winner Donny Osmond.
Announced by producer Harley Medcalf earlier this week, the 33-year-old Australian beauty will partner with fellow Dancing With the Stars cast-mate Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy. Maks opened Burn the Floor on Broadway in August.
