PureDWTS Season 25 – ET Reporting Cheryl Burke Is Back As A Pro
Well it looks like most of you guessed correctly – ET is reporting that Cheryl is indeed back as a pro this season:
Looks like Cheryl Burke is making her way back into the ballroom after all!
A source tells ET that the 33-year-old dancer will return as a pro for season 25 of Dancing With the Stars.
“She’s really excited to return to her roots,” the source says. “She doesn’t want to let anyone down, so you can expect she will be bringing her A-game every night!”
so glad cheryl is back as a pro. im very curious to see who she and mark are paired with. cant wait for the celebrity reveal
I am thrilled that Mark is back and really happy to see Cheryl returning. Cheryl has had her ups and downs over the years but I think her A game is back. Probably too soon to say but it wouldn’t bother me a bit if one of them won the season.
Glad Cheryl’s not letting Lochte be the last thing she does on DWTS.
So excited Cheryl is back. YAHOO
IMO Cheryl’s one of the best teachers this show has ever had so I love having her on. I found myself really enjoying her and Ryan. Its been a while since Cheryl had a partner with a chance of winning so I hope TPTB shy away from their recent formula of pairing OG pros with weak contestants.
I think this is a positive for the show. I just lost respect for her when she abruptly canceled her tour this Fall without a word to fans. Many who purchased tickets found out through other people who had tickets to other venues long before they themselves were notified that they would be refunded. If this is the reason, I don’t get it. What really gets me though, there are many people she hired for that tour that are likely out of work now. I’d love to hear from her that there was a better reason. I wondered if it might have been lack of ticket sales, but it was still early unless it just didn’t look good. But, she said it was just being postponed, not canceled. I keep going around on this one because I used to have a lot of respect for her.
I doubt VERY much, Rose1, that Cheryl would abruptly cancel a tour for DWTS unless it’s prospects didn’t look good. Maybe the ticket sales just didn’t kick off they way they should have. The thing about tours is, if you do really well with them, and you are in charge of it (ie. DWTS isn’t) then you can make a damn fortune on them – probably far more than DWTS pays it’s pros.
I am glad that Cheryl is back (guess she has time since for some reason or another, the venues cancelled her shows.) Kinda funny though, these people leave DWTS saying they are on to better things, and a few years later, they are back at DWTS again (mainly looking at you Maks.) Since DWTS is gonna be relegated to one show/year, the pro dancers probably think they better come back while they can.
I’m lukewarm in terms of being a Cheryl fan, although she never struck me as being arrogant like the C bros.
In regard to her tour,there are just way too many dancing tours and dance shows to see. There are only so many dollars to be made and I think no one compares to the Houghs in terms of quality and variety. They sing, dance, add a comedic touch, and always have the highest standards in their production. Awfully hard to compete with that.
I still have my ticket for Cheryl’s tour .I was told poor ticket sales maybe if she’s on DWTS and Dance Moms she will get more publicity.Also,maybe they will add more dates.
I’m happy she is back. I was disappointed she had to fall on the sword by taking Roche last time. Other pro’s have had to take on a controversial celebrity and I’ve wondered if promises were made to them or maybe the producers just expect each pro is thrilled to be asked. Cheryl is always a contender when she’s on the show. I do think that the producers let us know what they think of each pro when they assign the celebrity.
WAHOOOOO! I am so elated that Cheryl is back. I hope she has a celeb that is worhty of getting far and is interested in being there as much as she is…unlike Ryan Lochte who seemed like he just wanted to go home to his fiance.
I am wondering if Cheryl’s OWN fiance Mathew Lawrence will be her partner?!?!!
WAIT…what if DWTS has Mark and BC as a couple and Cheryl and Matt Lawrence? WOW that would be interesting!
@EmnEm These couple Cheryl Burke’s boyfriend Matthew Lawrence and Mark Ballas and his newlywed wife and singer BC Jean would both make good partners and stronger teams together.
Is it confirmed that she’s a pro dancer and not a third or fourth judge? Just so weird that there not announcing her yet. There is speculation that they’re waiting to see what Jenna’s status will be, but that makes no sense either.
Why do people even wonder if she’s going to be a judge?? I don’t think we’ve heard a word about Julianne, Len, CAI or Bruno leaving.
PH – I think because they didn’t announce her with the others and Jenna when asked if she was returning said she couldn’t answer that question. I hope Cheryl is a pro and not a judge if the other three are coming back. Do not need a fourth, and as much as I like Jenna, given the big spectacle she and Val have been making of themselves, I don’t care to see her as pro.
[…] Bobby was probably going to be the “surprise” 13th couple announced on Sept. 6, with Cheryl as his partner. None of my sources had heard a peep about Cheryl’s partner – which makes sense, […]
