Mark Ballas and Derek Hough May Leave 'Dancing With the Stars'

Mark Ballas Derek Hough'Dancing With the Stars' could be losing even more dancers next season.

Just days after Julianne Hough revealed she would not be returning for season 9, E! reports Mark Ballas and Derek Hough may be hanging up their dancing shoes as well.

"We have other things going on," Derek told E!'s Marc Malkin, including a Ballas Hough Band tour that kicks off this summer.

But fans shouldn't worry just yet. "We've got to see what happens," Derek added. "But it would be crazy, all three of us...leaving at the same time."

Perhaps all of this season's injuries scared them away.
