Witney Carson’s Presence Has Been Missed on ‘DWTS’
It has been some time since Witney Carson has been onDancing with the Stars,and after being so close to winning Season 31, she announced her hiatus from the show. Carson’s aim for this time was “some stability” and because she “wanted to put her family first.” This break from the show coincided with her pregnancy,allowing her to devote her full attention to her firstborn. Now, after some time apart from the show and spending time with her family, she is ready to return.
On August 29, the officialDancing with the StarsInstagram pageposted a video of Carson announcing, “I am back onDancing with the Stars,and I cannot wait to get back on the dance floor.Just wait until you meet my partner.You guys are going to die.” In the video, it can be seen that she is already at theDWTSpractice studio, meaning she is already practicing with her partner.
