I’ll always be a champion of his and support him in anything that he does.

However, he also admits that he fully sports new host Tyra Banks.

“It’s a big role to fill, for sure.

I think that she did a great job and live TV is extraordinarily difficult.

I think she did a phenomenal job,” Hough said of Banks.

Meanwhile, Hough tellsETthat he’s very excited for the upcoming season of the dancing competition series.

“I’m very excited.

Unbelievable to think that it’s Season 30,” he stated.

Hough claims not to know any details about how the show is handling the 30th anniversary.

However, he did reveal that judge Len Goodman would be back.

“I think it’ll be great.

I’m looking forward to Len being back because I think that he just adds so much.

I think that just having that Brit.

You just need that Brit, man.

You need him in the room.

He’s the man!”

While details are scarce, fans can expect Hough to return as a judge next season.
