Tyra calls her replacement, Julianne Hough, perfect...

From Us Magazine

“The businesswoman in me sees how Julianne is great on multiple levels. She’s a professional dancer. She is the sister of Derek [Hough], a DWTS multi-champion, who is now a stellar judge,” Banks, 49, exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “It’s going to be a family affair in that ballroom which people will love to watch. And she has so much personality and strong opinions backed by expertise. She’s a perfect choice! She’s gonna crush it!”

Banks, for her part, tells Us that there’s a lot she will miss about the series, which moved from ABC to Disney+ for season 31.

“I loved walking out every week in over-the-top outfits to such a hyped ballroom. Seeing Derek Hough dance in person was such a treat,” she tells Us of his “mind-boggling amazingness!”

Banks adds of Carrie Ann Inaba and Alfonso Ribeiro (who will stay on board with Julianne as cohost): “I’m going to miss Carrie Ann’s kindness and warm heart and of course reminiscing with Alfonso about the good ole Fresh Prince days.”
