Katherine Jenkins to Dance with Derek Hough in Utah Concerts
Many thanks to @carolynbishop2 for the heads up on this story – cross posted from PureDerekHough.com.
So is this why he’s been spending time with Katherine? Or is this a result of his spending time with Katherine. Inquiring minds and all that. 🙂 From Express.co.uk:
The 32-year-old mezzo-soprano is set to jet out to the US to perform at a series of concerts with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra in Salt Lake City and is (ahem) apparently fascinated by all things Mormon.
“I’m really intrigued to find out more about the Mormon way of life,” she tells us. “I’m going to be dancing the paso doble with Derek in front of 44,000 Mormons.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Elmari for the heads up that you can watch this on TV if you get BYUtv on your cable…or you can watch it online.
Derek sure does confuse everyone. Is he with Katherine? Or Maria? Or none of the above? Is it work or is it play? So many questions, so few answers. But thats what keeps us posting….:)
Cool, now his time in London is making more sense. LOL Heidi. Love your reaction too.
I hope someone at the event records this. Would love to see this paso.
I am going to assume the dancing came bc of what is going on with them…i don’t think they had too much time to practice when he was there last since he was watching tennis, going to clubs, and watching concerts…the peta trip was something separate which is yet to be determined. Last time D was dancing on stage with the singer we all knew what was going on there….ie circa 2010:) come on mormons get your video cameras rolling!!!! LOL
I mean, it’s annoying to be a shipper but the ‘evidence’ is piling up.
Katherine & Derek performing together! Wow, that is going to be one hot Paso Doble!! I was hoping to see these two dance. They’re going to look “AMAZING” together! I’m sure they’ll be King & Queen of that dance floor-lol
This is hot!! What a great day for DWTS news…. I wonder if we will be able to see this broadcast?
Okay so who should he be with, Maria or Katherine? I woukd love to see Derek and Katherine dance together!
I can’t wait to see this paso doble Derek has created for Katherine! He is the KING of the Paso Doble & Argentine Tango.. hehe! Sandy, he’s def not with Maria. She has been tweeting more and more about her boyfriend and including him at events… or at least he is becoming more visible. Time will tell with Katherine. I saw many suggestive tweets during the time they spent together in Vegas and in London. Derek is just SO private abt everything pretty much, even work. =/ Patience is a virtue as a Derek Hough fan! lol
Btw, we can all watch this on television or online – http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsburger/54455614-53/choir-byutv-jenkins-mormon.html.csp
Definitely not Maria, and I don’t think he’s ever acted like he was with Maria – her bf was in the audience every week. They just had amazing chemistry.
The mormons always have the cameras running when they’re doing a concert. Plus, who doesn’t love a free concert broadcast on BYU.tv?
I SO HOPE he’s not with Katherine other than profesionally. I don’t like her at ALL! I don’t think she did that well with the Latin dances as she did with the faster ones such as the Jive and Cha-Cha.
found an interesting tidbit from a Katherine interview the other day (website is the new age) where she is talking about her concerts in South Africa, she talks about how her outfits will look alot like they did on her DWTS stint and then said “I may just trhow in a foxtrot or any other trick in the show…it is going to be amazing”…..hmmmm is someone making an appearance in more than one show?!
Well, you know he toured a bit with Cheryl when they were “together” so….
Hi..Is the BYU broadcaast live on Friday and the other 2 that are mentioned just rebroadcasts or are they 3 separate performances? And does anyone know if Derek is appearing for just 1 dance..(don’t wanna waste DVR space).
Mr. Hough is currently in LA making some music with Tito and the realwhitepat- saw tweets and instagrams…hmmmmm. Loves to make people think that D.Hough!
Is Mark Ballas appearing in these concerts also. He has also flown into SatlLakeCity yesterday?
She only mentioned Derek in that article that talked about him dancing with her. I suppose he could be dancing also.
One of the site’s(MTC)mentioned her doing a song from her homeland which I guess could be the one where Mark played guitar for her, and Broadway tunes where he could wear his spats LOL.The MTC site says it can’t be viewed til tomorrow night, tho. Another article yesteday mentioned 2 shows in So Africa and it sounded like Derek was appearing in those too.
Mark seems to be the one dancing with katherine tonight….maybe Derek will also, but looks at the outfits…

I think Mark bogarted the dance. 🙂 maybe he didn’t like the thought of Derek dancing with her.
Most important, this means I don’t have to stay home to cap the feed tomorrow. 🙂
Heidi, looks like it might be on for D tonight, Mark is back in Houston.
Could this possibly answer some of the romance rumors? If Mark knows that they are an item would he do that, or is he just being territorial when it comes to dancing with Katherine.
Well, Mark danced last night and now Katherine is apparently running around Park City with Derek. I have to assume that she is with the Hough clan while they celebrate Derek’s sister’s birthday. I don’t think there is another performance tonight…or someone on twitter lied about seeing them together. Weirdness.
Um, okay, so I have no concept of Utah geography…Park City is only 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, so they could do both. There is a concert tonight and it’s possible Derek is dancing
Yes, there is a lot of weirdness…remind U of anything??? But a little while ago Katherine the Great tweeted pic of yet another different dress for “tonights performances”But earlier several people tweeted about seeing Derek in Park City with” his girlfriend”(a couple of other ppl actually tweeted them back, asked were DH+KJ with his family, answer, no, just 2 of them.)
I think it’s safe to prob assume that Derek and KJ are “a thing” for many reasons. DH has a “pattern” when it comes to this. Lots of trips to apparently just see her. Lots of similarities.He wants a relationship, she “can’t live in LA”. Guess we’ll know when Derek moves to Wales. Her strong suit hasn’t been “accuracy” so far but maybe we can believe one of her recent statements, “I was just hanging out with him because he’s my dance partners best friend”. Yeah, WHAAAA?
Heh…pretty sure it was a double date. Bruce hough has several pics of Derek and “KJ” on his instagram, then a pic of himself and his wife. Either they really are just friends and hanging out cuz she’s there plus it’s Sharees birthday…or they are involved and Bruce told Derek to “get over it, I’m taking your picture”.
I’m starting to believe they are involved. It’s not just the Cheryl pattern…it’s his dating pattern in general.
Did Derek dislocate his shoulder and that is why Mark stepped in? Derek was talking on twitter about the time he dislocated his shoulder on DWTS. It would explain why Mark hopped on a plane to SLC and did the dance with KJ.
Heidi, I swear there have been so many times you freak me with stuff U say (I’m thinkin long lost twin or something? LOL). As I looked at the pic of KJ tucked between D’s legs on that ride I thought the look on D’s face was”Oh no, a pic will exist of us close together YIKES”. Notice how he has pulled his head back so he looks farther away ? BWAHWAH! Men, great beings but sometimes so …..well, U KNOW !! He must not realize there are oh-so-touching pics of them kissing in the rain on the streets of London. Probably in the euphoric getting-to-know you stages and just wanna be not hounded..you know that intial love-sick high that comes right b4 all the reality sets in? LOLLL No, not a cynic but ain’t we seen it a million times??
BTW, do U think he danced at last nights performance or in case I feel like drinking a couple of bottles of Moet on the 24th will I not have to worry about being lucid ?!?Hee-hee
Oh and while I’m in this whatever it is mood this AM….Why can’t Mark Ballas grow his damn hair out..he looks so awful, or more awful, with this look. Is there a point? He looks so ridiculous in some of these more “elegant” dances like last night and some last season…like a homeless guy who stole a costume. It’s distracting !!! He looks like the attitude he has expressed a lot lately..”I hate when people call me that dancing guy”. If he hates it so much why do it ??
Winter, Derek was a regular old chatty cathy on twitter last night with Mark and Cheryl, but I think (hard to follow their tweets and retweets) that they were discussing Mark’s dislocated shoulder, not Derek’s. That said, once you dislocate it, it’s easy to do again. But really, I think he was just being his weird little self last night. Calling BoA “babe” but not even mentioning that “KJ” was with him and his family all day.
mimi, I know what you mean. I looked at that picture of how Derek had his head pulled back and I was like, “oh come on”. But, he has a serious dislike of the press – that I think he did pick up from Cheryl Cole – and he really doesn’t like it when they write about him in a non-professional related way. I’m not guessing on that, I have that from someone who heard him talk about it in person. When his guard was a bit down. :::cough, nightclub, cough::: Anyway, I heard there were pictures of them kissing in London, but did we ever actually see the pictures?? Some kid took them, right??
:::snicker::: Papa Hough deleted all the pics of Derek and Katherine off his instagram. LOL. Not at all obvious. 🙂
Yes..the deletions,”what U said!”
You know the saying”if you want s’thing done right,do it yourself?. I was at an event…a friend with me was checking twitter and came across those infamous London pics. Was already late so told him to save them. They weren’t and I have been trying to remeber enough to find it again.They were “grainey” but U could see enough. No, the guy was somebody who hung in the same area awhile and I think was a grad student, possibly.
I know D dislikes the press but he best get used to it and keep a smile plastered on his face or it’ll never be good. Hopefully maybe he learned that…give em some photos and access and it won’t be such a big deal. But as I said, I can understand if it’s early in a relationship, prob. want to hold off until both are sure they are ready to deal with the impact it will have. And in his case espcially, it will have quite a bit.
Has anyone heard yet if D danced?
Mark’s schedule is insane per his twitter. He flew from NYC to Salt Lake City, then to Houston to participate in a wedding and today he is in Chattanooga TN with Cheryl at an event.
Mark may have been called in to be the decoy for Katherine and Derek. 😉 With his lack of sleep he might accidentally spill the beans.
Wow, I would HOPE Derek and his “representation” are not that dense. Throw away an appearance to try to hide something that everyone will find out about anyway? What a waste of another opportunity. IMHO.. IF… he is that anti-Press and his management doesn’t step it up soon, he really won’t have to worry about the press bothering him.
What really makes you go Hmmmmm? is why Katherine would approve a newspaper piece saying she was dancing with Derek and that ended with “he is rumored to be her bf” or something close to tha,t if it wasn’t ok with Derek. And if it was ok, why didn’t he dance? Is he injured, is it because he and alot of his family got flack about the way he makes his living (There were some pretty nasty things said since he came from a “Mormon” family). It’s just troubling to me cause I want more people to know how talented he is.
Yes Mark’s schedule WHEW!!, that’s why it REALLY makes you wonder…
