Lacey Schwimmer won't return to 'Dancing With the Stars'

Professional dancer Lacey Schwimmer won't be returning to ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," she confirmed on Twitter.

"Hey twitterbugs! I will not be doing DWTS this season. But be sure to tune in!" she tweeted on Friday, according to Us magazine.

About 30 minutes later, she added, "I'm off to bed! I'm sad I will not be on this season of dwts . . ."

Schwimmer joined the show in 2008 after coming in fourth place on "So You Think You Can Dance." Her star partners have included former NSync member Lance Bass and "Iron Chef" host Mark Dacascos.

She is the second high-profile "DWTS" personality to say they will not appear next season.

Co-host Samantha Harris announced last month that she will be leaving "DWTS" and instead plans to take on expanded responsibilities on "The Insider."
