Dancing With the Stars might have just kicked off it's 19th season last night, but it looks like the ABC reality series is set to lose one of our favorite dancing pros at the end of the season. Cheryl Burke, who has been with the series since the second season has announced that she will most likely be packing her bags and calling it quits on DWTS after this season.

"As of now, this is probably going to be my last season," Burke explained during an appearance on Good Morning America. "I started when I'm 20. I'm 30. I want to try new things and just see what's out there."

However, the star is giving us hope that she could possibly return for season 20 as she only said that it was "probably" going to be her last.

If Burke does decide to leave the series, she will certainly be leaving a legacy behind her. She was the first woman dancer on the show to take how the mirror ball trophy and has won it twice with partners Drew Lachey and Emmitt Smith. Cheryl has also made it into the finale seven different times.

Hopefully the star can add another trophy to her collection this season, as she is dancing with soap opera actor Antonio Sabato Jr.

This wouldn't be the first major Dancing star to exit the series. Julianne Hough left the show after season 8, but has returned as a judge for the new season, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy who has sat out of the series during season 17 and 18 has officially announced his exit from the show.

The DWTS two-night premiere continues tonight on ABC.
