ERIN'S TAKE

DWTS’ ex-host Erin Andrews SHADES Tyra Banks as she sounds off on show’s shocking drop from ABC

FORMER Dancing with the Stars host Erin Andrews has subtly shaded Tyra Banks after giving her take on the show's shocking move.

It was announced earlier this year that DWTS is moving from ABC to Disney+ for its next two seasons.

The TV personality talked to about the competition serious leaving ABC. 

Erin shared how she felt about the decision and seem to shade Tyra in the process. 

When talking to the outlet, the FOX Sports anchor said: “I obviously saw it from all the dancers posting it, so I just hope that they're doing OK and they're excited about it.”

“That's where my love and my dedication lies towards, are those guys. So, as long as all of them are good."

The 44-year-old was cut from the show before season 29 aired, along with co-host Tom Bergeron.

By shouting out the dancers, many of which Erin worked with on the show, it seems that threw shade at Tyra, who replaced her. 

Erin mentioned that she planned on going to lunch with Tom when news broke that NFL star Tom Brady would be joining her on FOX sports after he announced his retirement, but she had to cancel due to the breaking news. 

"But I miss that guy a lot, Tom Bergeron, and I hope to see him soon...He's the best,” Erin said. 

The ex-host joined Tom in 2014 up until season 28 when they were both let go. 

THEY’RE OUT

News of her firing came as a shock to both of them and it left her reeling. 

"I didn’t have much time to deal with it,” she told the outlet. 

"I got a call that said, 'So-and-so from ABC wants to talk to you,' and I was like, 'Oh, s**t, this is it. I felt sorry for myself."

Erin said that she got the news when she was golfing with her husband, Jarret Stoll. 

She was even more afraid of being let go because it was the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and no one knew when live TV would be back. 

TYRA-D OF HER 

Tyra replaced the long-running co-hosts and was met with backlash after many mess-ups and dramatic costume changes. 

She will most likely not return for season 31. 

"There is no official decision on who will be hosting next season but it doesn't look like Tyra will be back," a source told The Sun. "Which would be a network decision, not her decision." 

Execs are searching for an A-list celebrity to replace the 47-year-old amid the show’s ratings plummet, a source exclusively told The Sun.

During season 30, Tyra was ripped for "shoving" Olivia Jade offstage after she was eliminated.

Olivia, 22, and fellow contestant Jimmie Allen, 36, were left devastated when they were both booted off the show earlier this month.

TYRA'S BLUNDERS

DWTS fans were furious with how Tyra handled their exit, claiming she "shooed" Olivia and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy offstage.

More recently, the host was called out by fans for "taking too long" to announce Iman Shumpert as the season's winner during the finale, among other instances. 

Pro Artem Chigvinstev weighed in on whether or not, Tyra would be returning. 

“As far as the show goes, the only information we received [about] it is we are going to be on a different platform, but as far as like, who’s going to be part of it and even ourselves as dancers, I’m not sure,” he told .
