Dancing With The Stars: Amanda Kloots performs to wedding song with late ...

Amanda Kloots and pro partner Alan Bersten danced a Foxtrot on Monday's episode of Dancing With The Stars to her wedding song with late husband Nick Cordero.

The 39-year-old co-host of The Talk and Alan, 27,  performed to the Frank Sinatra Song 'It Had To Be You'.

Amanda revealed that Nick, who died at the age of 41 during the summer of 2020 due to complications from COVID-19, picked that song because it was the one he sang to book the job on 'Bullets Over Broadway,' which was the show they met in.

'This song holds such a special place in my heart and our wedding will always remain in my mind as one of the happiest times in my life,' Amanda said.

Their dance thrilled the audience and earned high praise from judges Len Goodman, 77, Carrie Ann Inaba, 53, Derek Hough, 36, and Bruno Tonioli, 65.  

'You are a star,' Carrie Ann said. 'That was like watching a Broadway musical built only around you.'' 

Len told her that he loved the song and that he wanted the performance to go on a bit longer.

'It was like butter on a hot muffin,' Len said.

Derek said she was so enjoyable to watch.

Amanda told show host Tyra Banks, 47, that she felt good and it felt like a celebration.

They got 32 out of 40, the highest score so far this season. 

Tyra announced at the start of the two-hour episode that pro dancer Cheryl Burke, 37, had tested positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.

She told viewers that Cheryl, 37, would not be in the ballroom and her partner, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, 33, who was also fully vaccinated, would not be there, too, out of an abundance of caution.

Tyra said that according to the show rules that the judges and audience could base their scores on Cody and Cheryl's taped rehearsal performance.

The two danced the salsa in the rehearsals and were brought in virtually to hear their scores.

Head judge Len Goodman, 77, told them their rehearsal was well crafted and that they danced well. Derek Hough, 36, said it was really good for rehearsal and that they did a great job. Bruno Tonioli, 65, said they really missed them in the ballroom. Carrie Ann Inaba, 53, told him it was a little lackluster and not fantastic.

Tyra asked Cheryl how she was feeling and she told them she felt okay and was grateful that she got vaccinated because 'it could be way worse.'

''The world hands you things and you have to just ride the wave and pivot and that's what we did. I'm excited for Britney week next week,' Cody said referencing next week's theme honoring pop star Britney Spears.

Tyra said everybody was excited for Britney Week.

They got a 24 out of 40 and later learned they would return to dance next week.

Matt James, 29, from season 25 of The Bachelor, started the show with his partner Lindsay Arnold, season 25 champion, and worked in his rehearsal on getting his hips moving.

His girlfriend Rachael Kirkconnell, 24, stopped by his practice session and learned some of the moves. Then Matt and Lindsay came out and danced the Samba. Matt took off his shirt mid dance and threw it to the audience.

Len was not impressed.

'Instead of worrying about taking off your shirt, which was totally unnecessary, you would have been better served working once again on your hips,' said Len. 'They are nonexistent. Honestly your hips are allergic to music. Work on your hips.'

Carrie Ann told him he had an amazing physique but that he was lacking confidence and danced a little awkwardly.

They got a 22 out of 40 for their dance.

Before influencer Olivia Jade, 22, came out to dance she gave her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, a two-time DWTS champion, a makeover. She gave him a headband and put on bright purple eyeshadow.

They dance the Viennese waltz together with Olivia gracefully gliding across the ballroom.

Derek was really impressed with her dancing and said she was like a breeze dancing across the oak floor. Carrie Ann told her that with performances like that she thought their journey in this show would be long.

They got 27 out of 40.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kenya Moore, 50, partnered with Brandon Armstrong, a professional dancer, and danced the Cha-cha-cha to Donna Summer's song 'Hot Stuff.' Bruno told her she was 'simple irresistible.' Len told her she had plenty of 'gear in the rear' and did well despite a little slip up.

They got a 24 out of 40.

Pro wrestler Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin, 40, a WWE superstar, practiced his moves to Poison's 'Nothing But A Good Time.' The Miz was excited to dance a tango to ' 80's hair metal' with his partner Whitney Carson.

'That was good,' yelled Carrie Ann. 'A-Mazing.'

Len said he got just what he expected 'plenty of attack but very little finesse'.

'I was so impressed that control was awesome,' Derek said.

Bruno said he chanelled into 'a
