Dancing With The Stars professional Mark Ballas has revealed that he used to love watching partner Melissa Joan Hart in Clarissa Explains It All.

The 33-year-old actress rose to fame as Clarissa Darling in the 1990s sitcom before going on to star in long-running comedy Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

Speaking to The AP, Ballas confessed: "I would tell my mum not to talk to me when it was on."

The dancer, who won last season's competition with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, added that Hart is "doing pretty well so far" and that the pair are now on day eight of rehearsals.

"She has a tendency to kind of want to do all the hard stuff now. We've got to build up to it. We're only on day eight. We have three more weeks to go," he said.

Season nine of Dancing With The Stars premieres on ABC on September 21.
