Hough has won six Mirrorball Trophies.
Longtime Dancing With the Stars cast member Derek Hough has been a judge on the show since Season 29 after many seasons as a ballroom pro. With loads of experience and six Mirrorball Trophies under his belt, Hough seemed like the perfect addition to the judge's table — and he has been.
However, many fans miss seeing him dance on the show and would love to see him compete again. Well, it sounds like there's a possibility that could happen.
On May 31, Hough posted a TikTok suggesting that he'd return to the show as a pro — if he was given an amazing partner. Essentially, Hough would consider the option if it was truly someone he couldn't turn down.
"I'm bored. Cast someone I'd have no choice but to go from judge back to pro again for. Make it realistic but also go big. Don't hold back. DWTS casting team is listening," Hough captioned a post.
Dozens of fans popped up in the comments section, suggesting everyone from Taylor Swift to Britney Spears — both of which Hough responded to. Other fans suggested Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, Michelle Obama, and Lindsay Lohan.
Hough hasn't been completely closed off to the idea of re-joining DWTS as a pro. However, his schedule may not allow for such a transition. One thing is for certain, however, Hough would love to dance more on the show.
"If I do go on tour, I’m limited to how much I could dance on the show. I think if I could have more time to perform on the show, I’d love to," Hough told TV Insider in April.
