Former Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is letting fans know he’s doing just fine after being left off the season 35 cast.
The pro dancer took to TikTok to share his reaction to missing out on the new season. “Guys,” a shirtless Gleb said with a smile, showing off his chiseled abs. “Stop telling me you’re sorry. I’m good.” He then chuckled as he panned the camera down, giving viewers an even better look at his physique.
Fans (myself included) are not okay.
“You might be good! But we’re not!” one TikTok user commented. “Will miss u, king,” another fan wrote.
Before joining the U.S. version full-time, Gleb competed on the Australian, Russian, and UK versions of Strictly Come Dancing. He first appeared on DWTS as a professional in season 16 with Lisa Vanderpump and returned as a pro for seasons 23 through 34.
Over the years, Gleb has been partnered with Chrishell Stause, Erika Jayne, Mel C., Hilaria Baldwin, Nikki Glaser, Sasha Pieterse, Jenna Kramer, Mira Sorvino, and Brooks Nader, among others.
Gleb’s most iconic performance, IMO, was his unforgettable freestyle with RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Shangela.
Of course, Gleb’s exit comes after a messy season 33 storyline involving his then-partner Brooks Nader. The pair briefly dated after being partnered together on DWTS, but their relationship ended with plenty of lingering tension.
Gleb was dragged by Brooks and her sisters on their Hulu reality show Love Thy Nader. He later made headlines after telling Dakota Mortenson that Brooks was the “worst sex” he’d ever had on Alex Cooper‘s Unwell Winter Games.
And now, Brooks’ sister Sarah Jane Nader has joined the season 35 cast and is partnered with Hailey Bills.
