Maybe Lindsay Lohan should consider doing Dancing With the Stars after all?

Current DWTS contestant Andy Dick stopped by E! News with partner Sharna Burgess today to talk about his run on the show so far, which, Sharna admitted, has not been easy. 

"It's been incredible and frightening all at the same time," she told E!'s Catt Sadler and Terrence Jenkins. "There's been so many ups and downs, we've had a roller coaster, but it's challenged both of us in a wonderful way."

But its those challenges and the12-hour practices that help keep Dick—who has been in and out of rehab more than a dozen times—in check. 

"More than I ever thought, to be honest," the actor said in response to whether or not DWTS is giving him the rehabilitation he desired. 

"I've been to rehab—we all know, I've said it a million times—but I've been to rehab 13 times and this is more and better than all of those. Granted, those helped to get me—I would never have been able to do this show without kinda having that rehab background, but it's so rigorous. I've never done anything this hard in my life."

Keep it up, Andy!
