I know alot of people were upset when Derek left DWTS, well now he’s back, as a judge. He’s taking over for Len Goodman, who can’t travel from the UK because of Covid. No worries though, Len will still be ON the show, he just can’t be in LA.
“This show has been and will always be incredibly special to me,” Hough said. “Coming back feels like coming home and I couldn’t be more excited to be back in the ballroom.”
Season 29 features a powerhouse lineup of celebrities including Carole Baskin, Nelly, AJ McLean, Monica Aldama, Jesse Metcalfe, Anne Heche, Johnny Weir, Vernon Davis, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Justina Machado, Charles Oakley, Jeannie Mai, Skai Jackson, Chrishell Stause and Nev Schulman.
