Why Cheryl Burke Thinks Guests Won’t Appear On Her Podcast
Since Cheryl Burke left Dancing With The Stars a few seasons ago, she’s still kept a relatively strong social media presence. She may not be professionally dancing any longer, but DWTS is still heavy on her mind.
In fact, she launched a new podcast, Sex, Lies, & Spray Tans, where she dives into the backstage drama on the show. She’s had many former competitors as guests including Chris Jericho, Shangela, and even the controversial Sean Spicer.
But while searching for guests for the podcast, Cheryl has run into a bit of a snag. Some guests are hard to secure or have backed out entirely from the show.
What’s going on?
Cheryl Burke’s Podcast Isn’t So Popular Over At DWTS
It’s not a huge secret that Cheryl Burke has butted heads with the DWTS exec team in the past. She really wanted to be a judge after Len Goodman retired, but the exec team didn’t offer it to her. Instead, they opted to move ahead with three judges.
After formally leaving the show, she launched Sex, Lies, & Spray Tans. And while the show has been pretty popular with listeners, it’s not made Cheryl the most popular with the DWTS exec team. And in turn, that’s made it hard for her to secure guests.
“I do know of some guests who have said yes to the show and then all of the sudden said no,” Cheryl admitted as a guest on the Amy & T.J. podcast. “I don’t know who, what, where, when, how it all happened, but I can only assume, and my feeling is that someone who isn’t happy with the podcast may have been an influence.”
In the interview, the 39-year-old dancer confirmed her podcast was also the reason she wasn’t included in the Len Goodman tribute.

“I found out [about Len’s tribute] when everyone else found out. And that was just a stab in the heart for me. I just couldn’t believe that I wasn’t included in something so special,” Cheryl sadly told interviewers. “More than anything, I just feel really sad. I’m still so sad. I’m not even mad anymore.”
The Former DWTS Pro Defends Her Show
Although it seems that Cheryl Burke has burned bridges with the DWTS exec team, she still thinks it’s a great show.
“It just makes me believe that they’re not listening to it or something,” Cheryl added. “Of course, on social media, we need to attract listeners, and unfortunately with that, you have to put clips together that may sound a little like, oh, she’s just bashing the show. No, that’s not what the podcast is. It’s telling the honest truth.”
