'Dancing With The Stars' News: Are Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Leaving Hit Show?

Is Erin Andrews already putting away her dancing shoes after only hosting Dancing With the Stars for one season?

Andrews has just been offered a job as an NFL sideline reporter for Fox where she will be replacing Pam Oliver, but does this mean that the sports journalist will be leaving the dancing world behind for football?

Don't worry Dancing fans, Andrews is going to have to pull double duty because during the 2014 Summer TCA Press Tour, Rob Wade, an executive behind DWTS said that Erin will definitely be back to host season 19 this fall.

"We have Erin and Tom [Bergeron] coming back and we're looking forward to it," the exec told E! News. "We kind of knew before. We knew she had this other job and we made sure that would work out in the fall. So yeah, that's what we worked out. It's great and we're very supportive of her."

With Andrews spot in the new season confirmed, fans are dying to know whether or not dancing pro Maksim Chermkovskiy would be back. The dancing pro took a few seasons off from the show before returning in season 18 to win with his partner Meryl Davis.

Wade was unable to say whether or not Maks would be returning, but he said that he has reached out to him and that everyone at ABC seems hopefully that he will return to the show in one capacity or another.

"I'm absolutely hoping Maks comes back to the show," Rob tells the news site. "I don't know whether it's going to be as a dancer. I think there's a number of different things we can talk to him about and the way he'd be involved in the show. Maks will always be part of Dancing With the Stars in some way."
