Two-time Dancing with the Stars winner Julianne Hough says she won’t return for the ninth season of the show, reports Access Hollywood. The dancer revealed her decision after being eliminated from the competition on Tuesday along with her partner (and real-life boyfriend), singer Chuck Wicks. Hough made a similar claim after season seven of the show but changed her mind when asked to dance with Wicks. Hough also has a career as a country singer; her self-titled debut album reached the top of Billboard’s country album chart last year. Hough is still under contract to appear in future seasons of the show.

Good. She seems to have gotten really full of herself lately. Now if she’d only take her goofy faced brother with her!
i like julianne and will miss her. but i can definitely do without derek. let’s make room for pasha, anya and benji!!!!
yea – bye Julianne. I used to be a big fan of yours until you started making these announcements during each season of the show. Sometimes it’s not always about you.
Won’t miss her. I agree that she seemed to get a little full of herself in the last few seasons. She is a great dancer though
It would be so great if she took her brother with her. He’s a great dancer, but his constant mugging and annoying antics are too much.
Please god, no Benji. He is a fool. I will take Artem, Pasha and Anya, in that order. I like Julianne’s choreography and she is a great dancer, but she carries her partners. Sometimes she takes them too far, like Helio. I wonder if this means we will get to have two of the new pros who are competing for spots this season…
Julianne and her brother are one of the best dancers on the show. It takes alot of hard work to do what they both do, try being in their shoes for once,sad that she’s not back this season!
I love Benji, but he would NOT be good for this show. Pasha and Anya yes! Bye Julianne…you were fun to watch the first couple of seasons, but now your cute-as-a-button act has gotten old and boring. Bring on new buttons!
I like julianne
Does Julianne mean it this time or it this another lie for attention? Frankly I hope she goes because Julianne has just been phoning it in for the last couple of seasons and only using the show to promote herself. She doesn’t care about her partners even her so called boyfriend. It was all a showmance to help their careers.
I hope this means she’ll be in PLAYBOY.
She is the hottest girl on the planet. Way hotter than Hilary Swank.
She’s cute but getting more annoying every day.
Leaves for good or just not doing the ninth season. Get your facts straight or at least get your headline and story in sync.
The entire show should take a cue from Julianne and leave for good.
Big surprise there. Only reason she came back this season was because she was dancing with her boyfriend.
The article says “she won’t return for the 9th season” not forever.
