Us Weekly

“To be honest, I was shocked. I was sad,” said Murgatroyd, who's been with the ABC reality show since 2011. “I was sad that chapter of the show is done and it made me emotional on the call. I was, like, ‘Oh, my God, Tom’s not going to be there anymore? Like, he is the show.’ I’m not disregarding (Erin). She’s been incredible and an amazing host and somebody who had been through the show before with my husband, Maks (Chmerkovskiy). The way that she gave insight into celebrities and she could relate to them, I think really took the show to another level. But, a fresh start! Let’s see what happens.”
