How Sasha Farber Returned to Dancing With the Stars for Season 35 Premiere Without Being a Pro
Sasha Farber is back in the ballroom.
After the Dancing With the Stars performer was excluded from the season 35 main cast of pros and celebrities, Farber made a return to his stomping grounds during the Sept. 15 premiere by covering the series for ABC on social media, alongside The Bachelorette‘s Kaitlyn Bristowe, as well as shifting to a new role on stage.
“@sashafarber1 and @kaitlynbristowe are hanging out backstage,” ABC’s official DWTS account announced on Instagram Sept. 14, “and they’re taking you with them!”
And host Alfonso Ribeiro explained that Farber, who has tangoed on 12 different seasons of the competition, and Bristowe, who won season 29 with partner Artem Chigvintsev, will cover all the behind-the-scenes tea in their role as TikTok correspondents. The Russia native had previously covered episodes on social media during season 34, alongside many other familiar faces from the show that year including Gleb Savchenko, Brandon Armstrong and Emma Slater.
