Beloved ‘DWTS’ Hostess Shares Scary Cancer Diagnosis
Throughout its 33 Seasons, DWTS has gone through a few different hosting changes.
Tom Bergeron was the longest-running host on the show, starting from its inception in 2005 until Season 28. Fans remember how he infamously parted ways with the program just ahead of Season 29.
But now, one of the former hosts is facing an incredibly frightening cancer battle. She bravely opened up about her journey on social media and asked fans to be with her during this trying time.
Read on to learn more and see what’s going on.
A Former DWTS Hostess Faces A Serious Medical Crisis
While Tom Bergeron starred as the DWTS host, many others joined him in the ballroom to co-host seasons. Together, they brought a lot of life and fun into the ballroom and connected with viewers at home.
Samantha Harris served as Tom Bergeron’s co-host on Dancing With The Stars Seasons 2-9. She might not have been on the program as long as other hosts, but she developed a large fanbase during her time in the ballroom.
But now, she sincerely needs all the love and support she can get. Harris was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. After undergoing a double mastectomy, she proudly revealed she was cancer-free. But sadly, cancer has reared its ugly head once again.

The 50-year-old went on to say that she’s incredibly grateful for loved ones and she plans to fight.
