I&#8217;m grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of these glitter masks?&#8221;</p><p>Andrews, 42,&nbsp;<strong>thanked ABC</strong> for &#8220;6 memorable years&#8221; in a separate statement Tuesday. She had joined the show in 2014.</p><p>&#8220;Those years wouldn&#8217;t have been as special without my loving host Tom Bergeron, the talented dancers, and witty judges,&#8221; Andrews posted on social media. &#8220;I will always cherish my days on that set, even if I wasn&#8217;t the best at walking in heels.&#8221;</p><p>ABC and BBC Studios said Tuesday in a statement to Page Six that &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; would &nbsp;&#8220;embark on a new creative direction.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success.
