Dancing with the Stars Season 35 doesn’t premiere on the 2026 TV schedule until September 15, but the drama is already in full swing. Before any of the celebrities and their professional dance partners have even started the live competition series, The Traitors alum Maura Higgins, who will compete in the new season, has made it known that she’d be cool to partner with anyone, except for Gleb Savchenko.
I’m not sure how the partnering selections work for DWTS, or just how much say the celeb cast has over who they get to perform with, but Higgins is being very vocal and clear about who she doesn’t want to spend time with. While that may seem harsh, she has reason, and now Gleb has responded.
