Erin Andrews remembers the "surprise" phone call telling her she was being dropped from Dancing with the Stars

“It was a surprise,” Andrews tells Extra. “I got a phone call and I answered the phone. I was like, ‘This isn’t good.'" Andrews says she still keeps in touch with Tom Bergeron, texting him once a week, as well as the dancers. As for new host Tyra Banks, Andrews says: “She can nail the smizing and the walking in gowns and heels, so good for her."
