Witney Carson Says it's 'Weird' Without Derek Hough on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Witney Carson looks cute in a baseball cap while leaving Dancing With the Stars rehearsals on Monday (March 14) in Hollywood.

The 22-year-old pro dancer was joined at the studio that day by fellow contestants Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Mischa Barton and Artem Chigvintsev.

Witney recently opened up about Derek Hough not participating in this season.

“Derek is a big part of the show. He’s been around for a long time. He’s one of the main people on the show, so to have him gone? It’s going to be weird, honestly,” Witney told ET. “It’s going to feel like we’re missing someone always … I just hope for the best, and he’ll be missed for sure.”
