In a touching moment of camaraderie and genuine support, Good Morning America host Ginger Zee shared an emotional and heartfelt message to her colleague Sam Champion as he announced that he would be returning to the dance floor for the latest season of Dancing With the Stars.

Champion, who previously competed on the show in 2016, revealed that he would be taking part in Season 31 of the popular dance competition. While he’s no stranger to the show, his renewed involvement has generated a wave of excitement from fans and colleagues alike. Ginger, who herself had a memorable run on DWTS back in 2016, was quick to show her support and shared some words of wisdom for her co-host.

Champion – who announced he would be taking part in DWTS on Thursday – said he would definitely be getting some tips from his GMA colleague with comes to the dance show.

He added: “We’ve already talked about this…she’s out doing serious weather coverage so I’m not bothering her right now.

“But yeh, I’m going to get some tips.”

Ginger replied: “If all else fails … spin like a tornado.”

Champion revealed he is also being supported by Robin Roberts who “fell back” on her chair when he told her.

He said: “And then she was hugely supportive.”

Sam’s dancing partner this season, Cheryl Burke, shared a multi-slide Instagram post the day of the announcement.

“I am thrilled to announce my new partner Sam Champion for #DWTS Season 31!,” she wrote.

Zee’s words of support to Champion came days after she suffered a major parenting fail while working from home.

While live on air, her sons, Adrian and Miles, colored all over chairs in their home.

Ginger co-anchored ABC World News Tonight with David Muir earlier this week.

As she was preoccupied with work, her husband, Ben Aaron, was in charge of watching the kids.

However, he didn’t keep a very good eye on them because he went upstairs to take a shower and when he came down, chaos broke out.

Ginger posted the photo of the chairs to her Instagram and captioned the post: “While I was doing @abcworldnewstonight with @davidmuirabc , @benaarontv ran up to take a quick shower, Miles came upstairs and told him ‘Dad, somebody just drew all over the chairs.’ Somebody.

“And yes, it was a sharpie.”

The pictures showed an office chair and a dining room chair with Sharpie marker all over them.

The mother-of-two then shared a text message between her and Ben.

It showed a picture of the chairs and said: “Miles did some redecorating with permanent marker while I was in the shower with Adrian.”

Ginger texted back: “Oh wow.”

“Came upstairs and said someone drew all over the chairs,” her husband let her know.

The full star-studded DWTS cast was announced on Thursday – the competition struts onto Disney+ on Monday, September 19.

The cast includes The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino, drag queen Shangela – actress Selma Blair and many more.
