{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}There is one celebrity "Dancing with the Stars" pro Sharna Burgess would not work with again.

"I had a partner that was really difficult — and not say too much because I don’t want to — I wasn’t able to be in the room alone with him after the first couple of weeks because of things that happened," she told the outlet. "That was rocky, and we were eliminated very quickly."

Although Burgess did not name him, she competed with Jesse Metcalfe during the show's 29th season. The duo was eliminated in the fourth week.

"Our client is a gentleman and has chosen to take the high road," his rep added. "There is no story here and no point in responding to reckless insinuations just to promote a podcast."

Burgess also touched on other seasons she competed on, including the challenges she and Green faced with their personal relationship front and center.

"Hearing from people around that they were genuinely trying to just have this spotlight on our relationship, not his neurological stuff, not his experience, not our working through this together, but to almost say our relationship was the issue with the dancing in some way.

"I did text someone at that time and was like, ‘Hey this isn’t what we signed up for. If this is what you want for us, you just have to eliminate us because we can’t do this.’ And we were quickly eliminated after that."

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She revealed on her podcast debut there is "no shade" about "DWTS" after she wasn't asked back.
"Not only is it that ego thing of ‘they didn’t want me,’ it’s also that letdown," she said. "I thought I was going to have that moment to express and be me before baby, me before kids, me before Bri."
