Despite the silly song, Hough nailed the routine and brought her sexy swagger to the ballroom alongside many of the male pros this season, including Val Chmerkovskiy, Sasha Farber and Pasha Pashkov. She even performed a perfect split while doing a lift above their heads.

After their return from commercial break, Hough was back in her dress and co-host Alfonso Ribeiro joked that she made a quick change. “Nice to see you out on the floor with the guys,” he added.

Hough joked about the song choice, noting that she is currently single and looking for a guy wherever she can. Ribeiro ran with the joke, adding: “If you want a date, write Julianne’s first name, message and data rates.”

But lest you think that’s the way to win a date with Hough, she ended by declaring, “It’s not going to work.”

Hough has a long history with ABC dance competition. She first joined the cast as a professional dancer in 2007, and went on to win two Mirrorball trophies with Season 4 partner, Apolo Ohno, and Season 5 partner, Hélio Castroneves.
