So naturally, fans and Leavitt were pretty excited about his return. "When I saw that it was Mark, like jaw wide open," she told PEOPLE. "In my mind, I was like, play it cool, play it cool, play it cool. But internally, I was like freaking out."

Hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, the hit series pairs celebrities with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.

Dancing with the Stars will take us back to the ballroom for its 20th anniversary, live on Tuesday, September 16 at 8 PM EST 16, simulcast on ABC and Disney+. You can also stream the next day on Hulu.
