Derek Hough’s appearance on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune caused such a stir, the show needed to implement a new rule into the game.
It’s been less than a month since Dancing with the Stars’ pro dancer Jenna Johnson and judges Derek and Bruno Tonioli competed on the hit game show.
The crossover segment had fans in a frenzy, especially after the awkward moment when host Ryan Seacrest reminded Derek he dated his sister Julianne. After that, the tension was palpable, however, there was another uneasy moment that shifted things even further.
During a recent interview with USA Today, the 50-year-old host revealed a rowdy moment occurred when the cameras weren’t rolling.
In the middle of a commercial break, Derek had jumped on the show’s 2,400-pound wheel.
“We had to sort of say, ‘Stick to the ledge,’” he mentioned.
Once Derek heard of Ryan’s claims, he rushed to deny them. The dancer took to Instagram with a screenshot of the article and a caption that read, “Btw, this is 1000% NOT true. I would never disrespect a set like that however Awesome that would’ve been to be ‘spun around it like a cake ornament’ haha.”
While fans wait to hear if Ryan responds, the host said he was happy they appeared on the show. He even said their “very physical” antics made the segment “fun.”
“Knowing someone, or being friends, is definitely helpful,” Ryan said. “You can kind of tease them more than somebody you don’t know.”
Derek and Ryan’s friendship dates back to the early 2010s when the host was dating the dancer’s sister Julianne. Julianne and Ryan first met in 2010 when she appeared on his radio show with her then-boyfriend, Chuck Wicks. After Julianne and Chuck split later that year, she and Ryan went on their first date.
The two dated for three years before splitting due to Julianne wanting a career that wasn’t tied to his success.
While appearing on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert, she said, “I remember when I decided to break things off, I had a lot of these Brentwood moms and producers in that world that were like, ‘What are you doing?'”
”They’re like, ‘Your life is completely set up.’ And I was like, But I didn’t build it,'” she continued. “I was like, ‘I need to create this. Competitively, it’s not mine. I need to feel the pride of doing it.'”
