Dancing With the Stars has seen plenty of pros come and go over the 30+ seasons, with some lasting for quite a long time and others, not so much. Since there have been a lot of pros over the years, some have found love with one another. However, sometimes when it doesn’t work out personally, it also doesn’t work out with the show.
Former pro Damian Whitewood revealed that was the case for him following a breakup with Peta Murgatroyd. Whitewood was a one-time pro on Dancing With the Stars for Season 10, partnering with former Playboy model and actress Pamela Anderson . The two were eliminated during Week 6, but even then, it seemed like Whitewood would be on the series for a while.
Unfortunately, he told former pro Cheryl Burke on her Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast that he wasn’t asked back for Season 11, so he ended up doing the Australian version and other series in the global franchise. However, when it came time for the all-star season with Anderson in 2012, Whitewood admitted that producers didn’t even ask him back then despite Anderson wanting him on. At the time, Peta Murgatroyd was a pro on Dancing With the Stars, and the two had broken up after five years together.
Even though it had been quite some time since their breakup, Whitewood alleges that producers didn’t want to take any risks: I didn’t get asked to come back for that one, so that was, again, they brought her back and they didn’t bother to ask me back. Obviously, I wasn’t with Peta at the .
