Summary
Mirrorball Trophy winner Sharna Burgess joins Cheryl for a candid DWTS chat, but first, grab some napkins because a lot of tea is about to be spilled!
Sharna made headlines for calling out the show's controversial casting of NFL star Adrian Peterson, saying she would have walked out if that was her dance partner. . . but Cheryl feels differently. The ladies go in on the topic, including advice for his dance partner, Britt Stewart.
Plus, Sharna opens up about the two partners that made her uncomfortable, the one with whom she had the best chemistry (she doesn't name Brian), and her honest reaction to no longer being on the show.
