Karina Smirnoff returns to 'Dancing'

Karina Smirnoff has confirmed that she will be returning for the next season of Dancing With The Stars, according to In Touch Weekly.

The professional dancer will return to the ABC series for its tenth season on March 22.

"Yes, I will be participating in the show again next season," Karina said. "I won’t be told who my celebrity partner is until two weeks before we meet them for the first time," she added.

Smirnoff's confirmation comes after long-time host Samantha Harris, who co-hosted for eight seasons with Tom Bergeron, announced her departure from the dance competition show.

There is no word on who will potentially replace Harris on the series, although rumours claim that Pamela Anderson will join for its tenth season.
