Tyler Cameron on DWTS comeback, late call-up and new HGTV show
Tyler Cameron survived near elimination in week three of Dancing With the Stars to return the following week with his highest scores of the season. He discussed that turnaround with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of week five's Super Bowl Night, a theme episode built around American football's championship game. On season 35, he is dancing with pro Sharna Burgess.
Cameron was introduced to television audiences in 2019 through ABC's The Bachelorette. He later competed on Fox's The Real Dirty Dancing and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. He also starred in Prime Video's home renovation series Going Home With Tyler Cameron and served as a judge on HGTV's Bachelor Mansion Takeover.
The call came late. Cameron said the offer to join Dancing With the Stars arrived about a week before the show began. ABC lists him as a TV personality and host in its 2026 cast reveal for the series, and maintains an official cast bio page for him. The season 35 cast also includes celebrity chef and host Giada De Laurentiis, paired with Alan Bersten.
During Dedication Night, an episode in which couples dedicate dances to important people in their lives, Cameron honoured his late mother, Andrea Hermann Cameron. She died in February 2020. After her death and the COVID-19 shutdown of New York City, he moved back to Jupiter, Florida and returned to work in construction.
That building background feeds directly into his next television role. He will host HGTV's Let's Go Back to Your Place, which is due to premiere in 2027. In the series he plays wingman for singletons looking for love by exploring potential suitors' personal spaces, with HGTV describing him as a home renovation expert and entrepreneur.
Off screen, Cameron got engaged to Tate Madden in August. The couple work together on TINKR, an ergonomic, design-forward home improvement and tool brand. He also runs Image 1 Construction, his construction company. Together with his fiancee, he is building a business flipping and designing homes.
For viewers, this run ties those threads together in one season. Ballroom one night. Building sites the next. And it all started with one week's notice.
