Australian dance pro, Kym Johnson is taking a break from the ABC reality competition, Dancing with the Stars, to take advantage of a new opportunity, reports US Magazine.
“I will be taking the next season off from DWTS USA, so that I may accept an amazing work opportunity back home in Australia,” Johnson tells Us, although she declined to go into further detail about the new home country gig. “I am excited, nervous and humbled by this chance and look forward to sharing more about it with you soon.”
Kym is a two-time Mirror Ball champion, first with star partner Donny Osmond in 2009 and football player, Hines Ward in 2011.
“I wish all the dancers and celebrities in season 17 nothing but love and success,” Kym told US, “and hope to see you all back on the dance floor for season 18.”
We’ll be covering season 17 of Dancing with the Stars this Fall. The show premiers on ABC Monday September 16. The new cast will be revealed on Good Morning America September 4.
