Julianne Hough Out As Judge On 'Dancing With The Stars'

Julianne Hough will not be returning to Dancing With the Stars as a judge for the upcoming season.

People broke the news that the 27-year-old actress and dancer has chosen not to return as Len Goodman returns.

“I will miss being on the panel for Season 22, but have a lot of exciting stuff coming that I look forward to sharing,” Julianne shared. “The pro dancers, producers and crew at DWTS will always be my family.”

Producer Rob Wade added, “Julianne will always be a part of the Dancing with the Stars family and we hope to see her back in the ballroom in the future.”

Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli will welcome back Len Goodman after he took the previous season off to spend time with his new grandbaby in England and sit on the Strictly Come Dancing panel.
