"Dancing with the Stars" pro Cheryl Burke is speaking out about how dancing has "saved" her. Burke joined the show in its second season and was an instant fan favorite, going on to win the competition with her partner, Drew Lachey.

She recreated her successful debut season in season 3 when she pulled out a win with her partner Emmitt Smith. Throughout her time on the show, Burke has gone through many ups and downs in her personal life and credits the show for keeping her motivated and giving her a reason to keep going. "I guess it always goes back to how dancing in a way has saved my life in many ways," she explained to Fox News Digital after filming the season 31 premiere on Monday.

Burke added, "Whether that is my sobriety or my divorce or when it was really rough last year … dancing has really, this show especially, has helped me take my mind off the stuff that has been really hard to deal with emotionally."

"It makes me get out of bed.

It makes me have a purpose in life, regardless," Burke said. "I think … if it wasn’t for a show like this, a family like this, I probably would be really upset and depressed and never leave my house." Burke alluded to the rough moments she’s experienced in her life recently, including her struggles with sobriety and her divorce.
