The television host — who won the Mirrorball trophy with Hough in 2008 — made headlines earlier this month after she said she would have been tempted to have a “love affair”<\/strong> with Hough had she not been married at the time.<\/p>\n In a preview for Monday’s episode of Tamron Hall<\/em>, Burke clarified her comments, sharing more insight about her partnership with Hough and the dynamic between DWTS partners.<\/p>\n “What I was talking about is the chemistry between pro and celebrity,” she told Hall. “When you’re on a show like that, you’re dancing, you’re breathing, you’re in each other’s arms. You’re learning the dance, the rhythm, the struggle, the challenge, the triumph, the fear that you share when you step out onto that floor. It’s an extremely intimate experience. Chemistry for sure.”<\/p>\n \u201cHe’s adorable. He’s really like my little brother, saying I would have had an affair\u2026 I don’t know, maybe I was just chatting,” Burke added. “We didn’t — let me just set the record straight — and I was in a faithful marriage. But it’s like that dance where you’re just, you’re so close, and you’re so connected, and that intimacy, you can’t fake that.”<\/p>\n The fitness personality described the experience on the show as “more than most people go through in a marriage.”<\/p>\n “You’re sharing. You’re fighting. You’re competing, you’re learning, you’re failing at times,” Burke continued. “You’re trying to win, you’re communicating, you’re not communicating. You’re fighting. You’re laughing. You’re crying. You’re scared out of your mind. So it’s all of these human emotions.”<\/p>\n “To me, it was extremely sensual. Sensual, not sexual,” she said, adding that it’s also “romantic.”<\/p>\n Unable to render YouTube Video.<\/strong><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/31\/5by4\/2023\/10\/10\/316e4a179a9842f3a0fae3800a53be59_xs.jpg\")
