Professional Bull Rider’s Intense Chemistry With ‘Dancing’ Partner Makes Her Blush

YouTube/Dancing With The Stars

For the first time in her 9 season run as a professional dance on Dancing With The Stars, Sharna Burgess is blushing.

She and her celebrity partner, professional bull rider Bonner Bolton, tore up the dance floor with a sexy Cha Cha set to the tune of Luke Bryan’s hit song “Move” and made headlines while they were at it.

Everyone watching the show noticed how intense their chemistry was, including the judges.

“I’m telling you Sharna, you’re in for the ride of a lifetime,” judge Bruno Tonioli said during his critique. “And if you’re not, a lot of people are taking your place.”

All the attention is getting to Burgess, who admitted to E! News, “I think everyone made such a big deal out of it tonight that both of us were a little bit speechless…I’ve never blushed on this show, ever in my life, and I legit blushed tonight because I didn’t know what to say. 

Even if she doesn’t know what to say, many others do, including producers. After Burgess and Bolton’s first meeting, she couldn’t stop smiling and a producer said, “You’re blushing!” She brushed it off saying, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” 

An eyewitness told E! News that the two were “hardcore flirting” before their debut dance and before the show even began, Bolton warned fans about their instant chemistry. 

I’m dancing with the prettiest lady in the house so this dance could get pretty wild, right out of the gate,” he said in his pre-taped introduction video. “Things could get spicy.

This is the first season Burgess has been paired with a single celebrity while she has been single herself and it’s not totally out of the blue for romantic relationships to begin during Dancing With The Stars. Take Shark Tank‘s Robert Herjavec, for example. He and his DWTS partner, Kym Johnson, started dating after competing together and now they’re married!

Who knows what will happen between Burgess and Bolton romantically, all we know is that we are in for more steamy dances, and we can’t wait!
