Julianne Hough meanwhile caused a stir Dancing With the Stars Season 33 Finale, when a playful moment with the participant Danny Amendola took an unexpected turn. Her reaction to his bold comment quickly became a hot topic and left fans wanting more. So what did Hough say about Danny Amendola flirting with her?

Here’s a closer look at the spotlight-grabbing moment.

Dancing With the Stars co-host Julianne Hough had a moment with Danny Amendola that sent fans into a frenzy on the November 26 season 33 finale. After Amendola and his partner Witney Carson performed a Barbie freestyle to Lizzo’s “Pink” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken,” the trio gathered on a prop bed inspired by Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House to receive their scores.

Hough introduced the joke by asking Amendola what it felt like to dance as Ken. The former NFL star cheekily turned the spotlight back on her and replied, “I think the real question is, Julianne, why are you in my bed?” Without batting an eyelid, Hough grinned and quipped, “Oh, is that an invitation?” before the focus seamlessly shifts back to the scores.

The flirty interaction drew laughter from the audience. It even surprised Hough’s brother, fellow judge Derek Hough, prompting an amused reaction from him: “What’s going on?!” Meanwhile, Carson seemed surprised.

Although Amendola and Carson placed fifth in the competition, the lively exchange became a standout moment of the finale. It also chimed with Hough’s recent comments about her single status. After divorcing Brooks Laich in 2022, she joked in a previous episode, “I’m single and looking for a man wherever I can find one.”

Meanwhile, Amendola downplayed dating rumors about TikToker Xandra Pohl, calling her a “girlfriend.” (via E! News)
