Someone familiar is coming back to "Dancing with the Stars" and it is Leah Remini. According to ET Online, Leah is returning to "Dancing with the Stars" to fill in for co-host Erin Andrews. She will be joining host Tom Bergeron on Monday's show as a regular co-host, since Erin will be covering the World Series as Fox's MLB sideline reporter.
Last Friday, Bergeron shared a tweet which said, "On Monday's @DancingABC my pal @LeahRemini returns to the Ballroom while @ErinAndrews covers the ball game. #DWTS." Minutes after that, Leah re-tweeted Bergeron's message and added a thank you note.
Leah tweeted, "So happy to be filling in again!" The 45-year-old King of Queens star also added, "Thank you @DancingABC @Tom_Bergeron @erinandrews for having me."

ABC gave a statement to ET saying that, "Leah is confirmed to co-host this coming Monday, October 19th. Anything beyond that has not been determined."
Leah is not a new face in "Dancing with the Stars" since she finished on fifth place on DWTS Season 17. According to E! News, Leah was a fan favorite when she was competing in the Season 17 with pro-partner Tony Dovolani. It has been reported that Tony was forced to withdraw in the earlier part of the dancing competition this season, because his partner Kim Zolciak was not able to fly back and perform live because of suffering a mini-stroke.
Reportedly, Leah is not the first guest host since Erin left. DWTS champ Alfonso Ribeiro filled in for Bergeron when he was not able to join the Oct. 5 show because he needed to be with his sick father at that time.
Meanwhile, another popular face will be joining "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday, and that's Olivia Newton-John. She will be a guest judge for the "Famous Dance" night.
Tune in to "Dancing with the Stars" Mondays at 8pm on ABC.
