Online reports that Burke was in Africa with her family when news of her appointment ran on the alphabet network’s “Good Morning, America.” Tom Bergeron — “Dancing’s” longtime host — said of his new on-air partner, quote, “She cleans up nice. She’ll be able to talk to the couples backstage with the perspective of having been through it herself.” A new season of “Dancing With The Stars” will debut on ABC on Monday, March 22nd.
