Two-time Dancing with the Stars professional champion Julianne Hough is returning to the dance competition series – but not as a dancer. Hough will be voicing her opinion on the contestants’ dance skills as a guest judge on the October 7, 2013 episode of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

The October 7th episode will mark Hough’s debut as a judge.

Since leaving Dancing with the Stars, Hough has been keeping busy with her acting career, adding feature films Burlesque, Footloose, Rock of Ages, and Safe Haven to her resume. She also just finished up working on Paradise for Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody who’s making her feature film directorial debut with the comedy, and she’s signed on to the thriller, Curve.
