“If you’d like a date, text Julianne’s first name. Message and data rates may apply,” he cheekily replied, to which Hough laughed as she said, “That won’t work, please don’t do that."

The former pro's high-energy performance came after Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold received their second round of judges' scores for their Tango routine.

“Seeing all these amazing dances and dancers out there all season long reminds me of when I was a pro back in the day. And oh, my gosh, I wish I could just get out there and dance sometimes. In fact, why don’t we do that? Right now. Stephen, can you hold this?” she quipped before handing her microphone to the Olympian and revealing the matching silver fringe pants and bra she was wearing underneath her dress.

"For me, I just feel like it's just part of my life," she continued. "It's not like it's ever a destination. It's just always going to be a part of my life. I really enjoy going on retreats and connecting and it's just a part of my life."
