Derek Hough Endorses Ariana Madix for Dancing with the Stars
Former Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) pro, Derek Hough, is a fan of Ariana Madix and believes she would make an excellent contestant on the show. In a recent interview with TMZ, Hough expressed his support for Madix as the perfect candidate for the dance competition.
Madix has been making headlines since March when she uncovered that her longtime boyfriend and Vanderpump Rules co-star, Tom Sandoval, was cheating on her with Raquel Leviss. Since then, Madix has garnered a vast following and has become a household name.
According to Hough, Madix follows the formula that many reality stars have used to jump-start their careers, helping them become even more famous. The general premise of the formula is that these celebrities first get their big break and blow up in popularity, then they go on DWTS to raise their profile even further.
Hough’s endorsement comes as Madix is reportedly already in talks to join DWTS for season 32. While he has been busy planning his upcoming wedding and hasn’t had much time to follow the Sandoval and Madix drama, Hough still believes that Madix is the ideal candidate for the show.
Madix is no stranger to the dance floor, either. She has previously revealed her love for dancing and has been an advocate for incorporating it into one’s fitness regime. Her background in dance and her growing fame make her a prime candidate for the DWTS stage.
Hough is no stranger to the show himself, having won the competition six times as a professional dancer. He last appeared on the show in 2020 as a judge.
DWTS is known for featuring prominent celebrities from various industries, including music, sports, and television, among others. The show has launched the careers of several reality TV stars who have used their experience on the show to transition into mainstream media.
Whether Madix will make an appearance on DWTS remains to be seen, but Hough’s endorsement could influence the decision-making process. If she does join the roster, it will be interesting to see how well she fares on the dance floor and whether she can add another win for Hough’s team.
