Please give @sharnaburgess a warm welcome on her return as a #DWTS pro.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Sharna &#8211; whose last celebrity partner on the show was fiance Brian Austin Green &#8211; added on Good Morning America on Monday (24.08.26): \u201cI\u2019m back! Some of you guys guessed it \u2026 I\u2019m back on Dancing With the Stars, baby. I\u2019m gonna be competing for that Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. I can\u2019t wait to be back in the ballroom with my dancing family. And mostly, it feels so good to be coming home. I\u2019ll see you all soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>\nNews of Sharna&#8217;s comeback comes after fellow professional Witney Carson &#8211; who is pregnant with her third baby &#8211; confirmed she&#8217;d be part of the show when it returns to screens next month.<\/p>\n<p>\nSharna teased earlier this month she would love to return to Dancing With the Stars. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Us Weekly: &#8220;We actually discussed it last year, and it was by no means a \u2018Please come back&#8217;. It wasn\u2019t a hard offer on the table, but there was definitely a temperature check.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSharna acknowledged that she wasn&#8217;t ready at the time, as she was still revelling in the experience of being a first-time mother to her and Brian&#8217;s four-year-old son Zane.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;My son was not in school yet, and I was building on other things. I\u2019ve been acting and doing a lot of other stuff, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut now, Sharna admits that she would jump at the opportunity to return to the dancefloor.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;When I woke up that morning \u2014 like, a little over a year ago \u2014 and I was like, \u2018I need dance back in my life.\u2019 If they were to ask me this year, I would absolutely say yes.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think I still have a lot more to give.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite this, Sharna doesn&#8217;t want her return to come at anyone else&#8217;s expense.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;The cast is incredible and I would never, ever, ever want to take someone\u2019s spot. I would never want to get a position, which means someone else doesn\u2019t have one. I love all of the women on that cast.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;They\u2019re so powerful. They\u2019re so different. I think they\u2019re inspiring millions across the country, too. So, if there isn\u2019t a spot that I could be extra, I will forever be in the audience cheering them on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSharna and Bobby Bones lifted the Mirrorball Trophy in season 27, and she has also previously partnered the likes of Andy Dick, Antonio Brown, Nick Carter, and Jesse Metcalfe.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sharna-burgess-confirms-dancing-stars-return-1449540.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 August 2026 Sharna Burgess is returning to Dancing With the Stars.
