ABC also released their own statement about the departure of Bergeron and Andrews, per E! Online:
“Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success, Erin will also not be returning, and we appreciate all that she brought to the ballroom. Fans have been rooting for her since she originally competed as a contestant back in 2010, and her signature sense of humor has become a hallmark of the show.”
Bergeron has hosted the series since its launch in 2005, and Erin joined the series as co-host in 2014. ABC announced the fall return of the series last month.
