Brooke Burke is set to co-host "Dancing With the Stars" alongside Tom Bergeron, it was announced Monday on "Good Morning America."

Burke, who partnered with Derek Hough to win on "Dancing's" seventh season, will replace Samantha Harris, who announced in January that she was leaving the show.

"She'll be able to talk to the couples backstage with the perspective of having been there herself," said Bergeron, who made the announcement solo Monday morning, adding that Burke was still on vacation in Africa with her family.

Taking to the mic isn't new territory for Burke, 38, whose previous hosting gigs include the TV shows "Wild On," "Rock Star: INXS" and "Rock Star: Supernova."

"Dancing's" tenth season, which will feature Kate Gosselin, Jake Pavelka and nine other stars, premieres March 22 on ABC.
