Erin Andrews: My NHL Player Boyfriend Isn't Right for Dancing With the Stars, but His Teammate Is

Sportscaster returns as host of DWTS

Dancing With the Stars usually has at least one or two athletes competing each season.

But Erin Andrews, a former contestant and now host of the ABC competition show, doesn't think her hot boyfriend, L.A. Kings star Jarret Stoll, should be one of them.

"I don't think my man would do very well being in hair and makeup," Andrews told me the other day while promoting her gig as a spokesperson for Florida Orange Juice. "He would not like that whole ordeal. He does love fashion, but I don't think he would enjoy being in the hair and makeup trailer very long."

But she would love to see Stoll's teammate Jeff Carter try it out. "Jeff has the longest, longest legs and the way he skates he just looks like a gazelle," Andrews said. "Whenever I watch him skate, he's just like this gazelle and I'm like, 'Oh, my gosh! I would love to see Jeff on the ballroom floor.'"

Andrews returns to her hosting gig after making her debut last season when she replaced Brooke Burke.

This season's big change is Julianne Hough joining as a fourth judge.

"We know what shows we're up against week in and week out and [DWTS] has to evolve," Andrews said. "The show has to be fresh and they have to make it young. I appreciate what they're doing that."

One thing they won't go without at DWTS is orange juice. "The partnership with Florida Orange Juice was a really a no-brainer," said Andrews, a native of the Sunshine State. "I'm obviously really into health and fitness and now with this crazy schedule of Sundays doing the NFL and flying all the way back for Monday morning production meetings and then going live on Dancing, I'm trying to stay healthy and get my vitamins and nutrients. My dressing room is full of orange juice."

DWTS season 19 premieres Monday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
