ET has reached out to DWTS for comment.

While DWTS builds its cast of celebrities for season 25, pro Peta Murgatroyd recently told ET that she's not sure if she'll return to the show. 

“To be honest, we don't know yet,” she said of herself and her dancer hubby, Maks Chmerkovskiy returning. “We're sort of waiting to hear things, waiting to see what our schedules are gonna be like, so, yeah, I mean stayed tuned.”
