Dancing With The Stars News: Maksim Chmerkovskiy Announces Retirement, Says DWTS ‘Running Out’ Of Celebs

News

Sorry ladies.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy announced on Tuesday’s The View that he would not be returning to the show as a professional dancer after finally winning Season 18 with his Olympian ice dancing partner Meryl Davis.

He did not rule out returning the series for guest appearances and potentially as a judge as well.

The more interesting news is that Maks said that the show is legitimately running out of celebrities.

“I saw that there were a lot of changes last season. I took a year off. I skipped two seasons and I came back. I personally fell in love with the show. It’s not something I need to say now that I’m not even part of it, but it’s definitely amazing entertainment…I do think it needs to stay on. I’m a big supporter of anything dance related. And I think it’s brilliant,” Maks said. “My problem is that we’re running out of legitimate celebrities. That’s the problem.”
