'Dancing with the Stars' News Update: Cheryl Burke’s Least Favorite Partner, Ian Ziering

Dancer, model and TV Host, Cheryl Burke's journey on Dancing with the Stars has been pretty amazing. She participated in the show for 18 years and even won twice consecutively.

Being a professional dancer, her moves and dancing skills, earned her a place in the final on four occasions. And she has successfully trained athletes and Hollywood stars on the show and helped them dance like professional dancers.

During her appearance in the show, she had teamed up with Drew Lachey, a member of 98 Degrees and they went ahead to win the show. Her appearance with Emmitt Smith, a retired footballer in the third season also won her the championship. She was also teamed with actors, Gilles Marini, Cristián de la Fuente, former U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader, Tom DeLay and the reality star Rob Kardashian to name a few.

However, one season is worth mentioning, since things did not seem to work out well for her because of her dancing partner. According to reports, she has confessed that Ian Ziering, her dancing partner in Season 4 is her least favorite. She further states that his name being EYE-AN is what she dislikes the most.

Hosts of the show, Celebrity Apprentice, have also admitted that the show has brought out his true self and they dislike his behavior. They have further described him to be intense and captivating.

In the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars, Cheryl and Ian had secured a fourth place, but Cherl describes her experience to be far from what she expected and it was surely not a pleasant one.

The reports further state that Cheryl confessed to feeling like slitting her wrist due to the entire episode. She had even gone ahead and asked the executives if there was any way that they could be eliminated earlier. But, as per the format of the show it was surely not a possibility and they kept on going ahead in the competition. They were ultimately eliminated during the semi-finals.
