BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 host Julianne Hough has recently received a slew of outrage from the viewers for pushing Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold's rumored romance. Some viewers even want Julianne to be fired from the show.

Julianne had a conversation with dancers Harry and Rylee about their rumored romance outside the ballroom in the previous episode. Additionally, Julianne even dubbed Harry and Rylee "lovebirds" in an episode previously.

Julianne's previous hosting blunders had stunned viewers and attracted harsh criticism. Notably, viewers weren't too thrilled about her hosting abilities throughout the season.

A 'DWTS' viewer tweeted, "Derek and Julianne gotta go. If you ain't dancing, you ain't doing it. Julianne is cringy as hell on the mic and Derek is delusional and weird on this Harry and Rylee showmance train. Bring back Tyra and throw Louis Van Amstel in Derek's spot. I've seen enough."



 

Another person said, "Lmao did Julianne just called Harry and Rylee LOVE BIRDS???? She’s shipping them HARD."

A third X user said, "Anyone else caught Julianne calling Harry and Rylee love birds after performing to a song about friendship they are playing this UP."



 



 

Another tweet reads, "I’m not even mad at Rylee & Harry for playing into their flirting/possible relationship bc it’s bringing in the views & votes but the fact that others like Derek & Julianne are playing along with it too not only shocks me but makes me LOL."

Another person wrote, "Please don’t bring Julianne Hough back next time #DWTS Alfonso is fine by himself."
