Cheryl Burke is not going to invite Ian Ziering to the ballroom anytime soon.
According to TMZ, Burke called the former Beverly Hills 90210 star her “least favorite” Dancing with the Stars partner on a podcast called Allegedly with Theo Von and Matt Weiss.
Burke was paired with Ziering during the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars, which aired in 2007. The professional dancer explained that working with Ziering “made me want to slit my wrists.”
Podcast hosts Von and Weiss were not surprised by Burke’s comments, and said the actor seemed “very intense” during his time on the Celebrity Apprentice last year.
Burke even went as far to say that she wanted her and Ziering to be eliminated from the dancing competition.
"I was like, 'Hey execs' – I was like crying to the executives – 'is there any way to force us, to just like eliminate us?'” she said.
It appears that Burke did not like anything about Ziering, including the pronunciation of his first name.
"The fact that his name's not [pronounced] 'EEE-an' and it's 'EYE-an' makes me want to throw up," Burke added.
