A DANCING with the Stars pro has revealed she's not returning to Season 33. The cast member, whose spot was seemingly snagged by a family member, provided the reason as to why fans won't see her on the dance floor anytime soon. On Monday, DTWS alum Lindsay Arnold Cusick , 30, addressed her most asked fan question during a Get Ready With Me TikTok video.
In the video, Lindsay, who last appeared in the dancing competition show during its 30th season, responded to the question, "Will you be doing Dancing with the Stars again this season." "If I decided I wanted to come back this season, it's not like I just decided I want to do it again and I'm on the show," Lindsay explained. She continued, "I would have to express my interest in coming back to producers then I would be in the same position I was always in, where it's a waiting game.

Lindsay was on DWTS for "close to 10 years" and stepped away after Season 30 to focus on her family. The professional dancer shares two daughters, Sage, three, and June, one, with her husband Samuel Cusick - who she married in 2015.
Lindsay told her fans, "I want to bring this up because it's a very stressful thing." Most read in Reality "It's kinda like you're putting your life on hold for something that isn't guaranteed to you," she explained to fans. Lindsay revealed that when it comes to being a pro on DWTS, none of the dancers have a guaranteed spot in the upcoming season.
She explained that during her tenure on the show and even though she was under contract, "the contract does not guarantee you a job every season." "But you do need to be available to do it when you are under contract and you can't do other shows - you can't be doing other things." "You need to be ready if they choose to use you," the TV personality added.
TOUGH SPOT Lindsay remarked, "Logistically it's very hard, especially as a mom but, of course, the show's amazing, and if I had the desire to do it again then you make it work." Dancing With the Stars has only named one contestant on Season 33 - Olympic Bronze Medalist Stephen Nedoroscik. But, there are rumors swirling of who will be on the show, as the cast announcement on September 4 looms closer.
Here is the rumored cast. Jason Kelce - former NFL player, host Julianne Hough let it slip during a GMA interview Joan Vassos - upcoming Golden Bachelorette Tom Sandoval - Vanderpump Rules cast member Leak Kateb - Love Island contestant Rachel Recchia - The Bachelorette, Season 19 Ilona Maher - Olympic rugby player Gerry Turner - Golden Bachelor Caitlin Clark - WNBA player Joey Grazidei - The Bachelor Amy Robach and TJ Holmes - former GMA3 hosts Sutton Stracke - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Parvati Shallow - Survivor and The Traitors contestant The social media influencer told fans, "When I stepped away it wasn't like, 'I'm done forever.' "This is what works for my life, we'll just take it a season at a time.
" "So I understand why people are always curious because it's not like I said 'I'll never do it again,'" she recalled. Because her younger sister Rylee Arnold , 19, had her first season as a pro on DWTS last season, Lindsay admitted understanding that "people are even more curious if I would go back and do it again with her." Lindsay confessed, "With all that being said though, I guess I should get to the point, am I doing Dancing with the Stars next season? "The answer is no, I will not be doing Dancing with the Stars this season.
" She revealed that she didn't express any interest in returning as it's not on the cards at this time in her life. "I'm still very much content with my decision to just be here with my kids," Lindsay said. She continued, "I love the phase of life that we're in and it still doesn't feel quite right for me to be doing the show.
"Never say never," she continued, adding, "But I will say its been so fun to be able to watch and support my sister Rylee." "I love that I can still feel like I'm a little bit a part of the show through Rylee but I get to be home with my girls and do what I love to do here."
