Burke returns to 'DWTS' as co-host.

The LA Times is now reporting that Brooke Burke is set to join ABC hit Dancing With the Stars once again, but this time the brunette beauty returns as the show's newest co-host. After former co-host Samantha Harris left the job to pursue other projects, there was some speculation as to who would fill the role.

Burke confirmed rumors that she was in the running for the role on her Twitter last week saying, "btw, the news about me hosting DWTS is true. I am screen testing next week for the job, fingers crossed!”

It seems the finger-crossing worked. Burke beat out rumored applicants like television personality Vanessa Minillo, and season 8 contestant Melissa Rycroft for the job. No stranger to hosting or dancing, Burke won the season 7 Dancing With the Stars trophy with her professional dancing partner Derek Hough. She has also held previous gigs hosting shows like Rock Star:INXS, E!'s Wild On, and TV Land's She's Got the Look.

The mother of four will join host Tom Bergeron for the show's premiere on ABC, March 22.
