Dancing With the Stars will look a little bit different this season when it premieres on September 14th on ABC.
Not only will the host be different as Tyra Banks has taken over for Tom Bergeron, who has been there from the show's inception, and Erin Andrews, now the judge's table will look a little different as well.
Esteemed professional judge, Len Goodman, is taking a break this season due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, BUT it has been announced that he will be involved “in a different capacity” while living in the U.K.
So who will be joining Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli at the judge's table?!
Nonother than DWTS pro and fan favorite, who is also easy on the eyes, Derek Hough!
ABC made the announcement on Tuesday that the series veteran, Hough will in fact join the show this season as a judge.
Hough is no stranger to the DWTS ballroom as he has 6 mirrorball trophies under his belt! His winning partners include Brooke Burke, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Grey, Kellie Pickler, Amber Riley, and Bindi Irwin!
He has also been a judge alongside Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo on NBC's World of Dance and it has been confirmed that his Dancing With the Stars gig will not interfere with his commitments on the other.
Hough is very excited to join the panel as his sister, Julianne, was a judge on the series from Seasons 19 through 21.
Get your dancing shoes ready because Season 29 premieres on Monday, September 14th!
