DANCING WITH THE STARS: HUGE BREAKING NEWS

Dancing With The Stars Shakeup. Tom Bergeron's side on Dancing With the Stars has a vacancy! Brooke Burke has been

Dancing With The Stars has yet another change. Brooke Burke Charvet has reportedly been let go as host of the show. Rumorfix.com was the first to report the news.

E! News also reported that the news came as a shock to the season seven winner of the show. According to the statement Brooke released to the media, this was a 'shocking elimination that took the cake.' She added that she understands the need for change and she looks forward to pursuing new opportunities she would not have otherwise been able to due to her contract with the show.

There is no word yet on who will replace Brooke. (But a certain bubble brunette who loves the show is interested...just saying.) TVGrapevine will continue to provide you with information as it becomes available.

"We can confirm that Brooke Burke-Charvet will not be joining us next season," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green said in a statement. "She's been a wonderful part of the Dancing with the Stars family since her triumphant win in season seven and will unquestionably be missed by our entire team. We'd like to thank Brooke for her years of great service."

Burke-Charvet first joined DWTS as a contestant, winning season seven with her partner Derek Hough. Three seasons later, she replaced Samantha Harris as cohost.

This isn't the first major shakeup to rock the upcoming season. ABC most recently announced that its 28-member orchestra of musicians and singers was being replaced Ray Chew and his band.

"We feel that there are some types of music and types of songs, a lot of modern music particularly, is so produced that it's impossible for an 18-piece band to replicate that sound," Green told The Hollywood Reporter of the change. "You get to a point where you're forcing a band to try and do sound that they just literally can't pull off."

DWTS will continue its one-night format when Season 18 kicks off on March 17. The show's two-night tradition was cut in half last season.
