After seven seasons as co-host of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" (following one season as a winning contestant), Brooke Burke-Charvet has been fired from the show.

The news evidently took Burke-Carvet by surprise. She tweeted on Saturday, "Weird day ... Shocking pre-season elimination #DWTS ...ME. Tom Bergeron didn't even read my name. I won't be returning to the show this season."Burke-Charvet has co-hosted the show with Bergeron since season 10. After several seasons of robotic teleprompter reads and idiotic backstage interviews with the contestants, Burke-Charvet. 42, had actually begun to improve in the role in more recent years.

Following her Twitter revelation, ABC released a statement to People that read, "We can confirm that Brooke Burke-Charvet will not be joining us next season. 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."

The onetime model released her own statement to E! Online. It read, "I have enjoyed seven seasons co-hosting 'DWTS' but understand the need for change considering the position of the show at this juncture.

"I've always been one to embrace change and looking forward to pursuing opportunities I previously wasn't able to entertain because of contractual obligations to the show," she continues. "I've seen my fair share of shocking eliminations in the ballroom but this one takes the cake."

As People reports, "There is no word on who - if anyone - will replace Burke-Charvet, who won the seventh season of the show with her partner Derek Hough." The show's 11th season premieres March 17.

"This is the second major change to the upcoming 18th season of Dancing with the Stars," reports People. "The show also recently fired bandleader and orchestrator Harold Wheeler, as well as his 28-member band," as previously reported on NowTrending.com.

Thanks for all the love & support. I loved my time in the ballroom & I'll love my next chapter too. Change is positive. Love you guys!
