Recently, "Dancing with the Stars" season 18 announced that Tom Bergeron's other half Brooke Burke Charvet would not be returning as co-host after being a part of the series from season 10 through 17.

"I have enjoyed seven seasons co-hosting ['Dancing with the Stars'] but understand the need for change considering the position of the show at this juncture," says Brooke Burke-Charvet in a statement according to E! Online.

"I've always been one to embrace change and looking forward to pursuing opportunities I previously wasn't able to entertain because of contractual obligations to the show. I've seen my fair share of shocking eliminations in the ballroom but this one takes the cake."

Now, TVLine, reports that season 10 finalist and Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews will be taking over co-host duties as season 18 begins.
