The 20-year-old professional dancer served as a judge on the show for its 17th season in 2022. On Friday (January 26), it was announced that she was set to return for its 18th season in a last-minute casting switch-up.
Many stars are reeling at the loss of one of their friends, mentors, co-worker, Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
The 40-year-old dancer, host, judge died this week, and those who have worked closely with him are mourning the loss and honoring him.
tWitch‘s fellow So You Think You Can Dance season 17 judges JoJo Siwa and Leah Remini were among those that took to social media to pay tribute to their late friend and co-worker.
