The daring red carpet appearance came after Brooke recently admitted she wanted a fling with DWTS alum Derek Hough – while she was engaged to Baywatch star David Charvet.
Reflecting on her time competing for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy in 2008, the 52-year-old fitness guru revealed that her chemistry with the 38-year-old choreographer led her to cheat on her long-term partner, whom she separated from in 2018 finally divorced after almost seven years of marriage.
Appearing on Cheryl Burke’s Sex, Lies and Spray Tans podcast, the mother of four recalled seeing Hough as “so young, green and confident.”
“I didn’t think he would be such a powerful, badass choreographer,” Burke told listeners before making a bombshell confession.
The TV personality went on to say that if she had “not been married,” she would have “actually hoped” to have a “love affair” with the three-time Emmy winner.
“You’re intertwined with someone’s body unless you’re a dancer.” “There’s no way I’ve ever been more intertwined – other than with a lover or a husband – than with Derek,” Burke explained. “And every day.” So for three months you’re in someone’s arms.’
The actress continued, “Why do you think people fall in love?” You smell them, you feel them, you breathe with them. It can be more intimate than making love in the bedroom – making love on the dance floor makes you feel more connected.”
“When you have energy, you’re doing this dance and you’re in rhythm, and then there’s trust, then you’re sharing fear, you’re doing something you’ve never done before.” How often do you have an experience with someone where they have everything is what you have? She asked.

Because of his lack of experience, Hough was confident they had no chance of winning, Burke said, and was “really scared and unsure.”
She explained that they both had the mindset to just stay here as long as possible.
“I knew his young spirit. I knew he wasn’t fighting to win. “I knew it was an opportunity for both of us – I was there to see America in a different way,” she said. “I think he was there because it was a great gig as a dancer, it was something big for him.” I don’t think people sign up to win the Mirrorball Trophy – it’s not even attainable. “You don’t think it’s possible,” she admitted.
After her win, Burke said she felt like she was capable of “anything” and it “changed her whole life.”
A few years later, Brooke returned to DWTS as a co-host from Season 10 to Season 17.
