Cheryl Burke Done with “Dancing with the Stars”?
Published at
ABC/Craig Sjodin(NEW YORK) — After 10 years of dancing with stars from Drew Lachey to Emmitt Smith to Rob Kardashian, Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke may be hanging up her dancing shoes — on TV at least.
“As of now, this is probably going to be my last season,” Burke told ABC News’ Good Morning America on the eve of her first dance with star partner Antonio Sabato Jr., on the show’s 19th season, premiering Monday night.
“I started when I’m 20. I’m 30. I want to try new things and just see what’s out there,” she said.
Burke has appeared on 18 of the show’s 19 seasons. She is the show’s first professional dancer to appear in the finals seven times and the semi-finals 10 times.
Burke, a two-time winner of the show’s coveted Mirror Ball trophy, has been open about exploring other opportunities while on the show, including opening her love life up to TV.
In 2012, Burke told reporters she had spoken to ABC executives about becoming the next Bachelorette.
“There hasn’t been a firm offer, but if they offer it to me, I would love to do it,” she said at the time.
The 19th season of Dancing with the Stars, and possibly Burke’s last, premieres Monday, Sept. 15, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
