LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fan favorite professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy has tested positive for Covid. Therefore, he couldn't make it to the 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 Halloween Night episode. Val vows to be back next week to continue the competition with Gabby Windey. For the Halloween Night episode, we saw Alan Bersten coming forward to partner with Gabby.

Three days earlier, Val announced that he tested positive through his social media. The dancer said, "It sucks majorly for lack of a better more profound word."

Well, 'DWTS' Season 31 fans appreciate Alan for coming forward to help Baby. A few Bachelor Nation fans even claimed that Gabby and Alan seem to have more chemistry than Gabby and Val.
