Hough, Ballas hint at 'Dancing' exit

Dancing With The Stars professionals Derek Hough and Mark Ballas have hinted that they might be leaving the show.

Hough, who's sister Julianne has confirmed that she will be departing the competition at the end of this season, told E! Online's Marc Malkin that the pair want to devote more time to their music with the Ballas Hough Band.

"Mark and I might not be back, either. We have other things going on," he explained.

"There’s a bunch of stuff on the table right now and we're going on tour this summer... We've got to see what happens."

However, he admitted that it "would be crazy, all three of us...leaving at the same time".

Hough and Ballas both made their Dancing debuts in the fifth season, with Hough going on to be crowned champion alongside Brooke Burke last year.
