Cheryl Burke reunites with Tom Bergeron who also left DWTS... after her own ... trends now
Cheryl Burke reunited with axed Dancing With The Stars host Tom Bergeron on Monday - after announcing her own impending exit from the show.
The dancer, 38, shared an array of silly selfies with the former host, 67, after announcing she would be leaving the show at the end of her 26-season run.
Bergeron exited the show in 2020 after allegedly 'butting heads' with the producers over their choice to cast 'political people' in the dancing competition.

'Lately I've talked a lot about how my body - it just hurts,' she said in an exclusive interview. 'For me as a dancer, as a woman, unfortunately, this is what happens to an athlete as well.'
The dancer expressed wanting to take time to heal after finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Matthew Lawrence in January 2022.
The former couple met on the dancing show but ultimately split after a three-year-long toxic marriage.

Over the years, Burke has taken breaks from the show to focus on her other passions and returned to the show.
However, this time, she said her break is indefinite.
'At the end of the day, it's my sobriety as well,' the model said. 'I feel like I really have evolved and have just done a lot of work within myself.

She added, 'And to continue to be judged, to continue to worry about my body, to continue to worry about if I look good or not look good in a costume is not where I am at today.'
A little over three weeks later since the announcement, the dancer apparently hung out with her former peer who had also left the show two years ago.
