'Dancing with the Stars' Season 22 Rumors: Len Goodman Returning to DWTS?
"Dancing with the Stars" Season 21 just wound down on ABC and Bindi Irwin was crowned the winner, but the buzz surrounding the upcoming season 22 is already growing, especially now that an old face is making a comeback like Len Goodman.
According to a report from TV Line, the "Dancing with the Stars" veteran judge will be returning to the show for season 22 after sitting out the recently concluded season. The reason for his exit was reportedly the birth of his new grandson as well as existing commitments to U.K. show "Strictly Come Dancing".
Now, he's slated for a return to the show that he has judged for twenty straight seasons. Goodman confirmed the news on his social media account quickly.
"Back on DWTS season 22," the judge posted on his Twitter account. "So nice people are welcoming me back. Be careful what you wish for."
Are you happy Goodman is back on "Dancing with the Stars"?
Before the new season kicks off, the famed "Dancing with the Stars: Live! - Dance All Night Tour" commences and continues the dance fever throughout the winter season. Season 21 finalist and Army National Guard Specialist Alek Skarlatos was recently announced as part of the much-anticipated tour throughout the country, according to a report from ABC.
"This year has been a whirlwind of emotions and activities and I can't think of a better way to cap it off than to tour America with my DWTS family while being able to greet everyone who has been so supportive of me during this year," Skarlatos said. "This has been an experience of a lifetime."
In an interview with People, the finalist said he's looking forward to be part of the lineup.
"I'm excited to get to go out there and perform without the pressure of being scored by judges," Skarlatos explained. "I'm really glad Lindsay and I will get to focus on the fun part a little more now."
The real-life hero will be touring with his pro partner Lindsay Arnold, as well as other DWTS favorites Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Brittany Cherry , Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd and Emma Slater.
"Dancing with the Stars: Live! - Dance All Night Tour" will consist of 43 cities across the country over two months, from Dec. 15, 2015 to Feb. 14, 2016.
Tickets are available at the official DWTS Tour website.
"Dancing with the Stars" Season 22 will premiere on March 22, 2016.
