“Fun fact: I danced with Charlie for one day,” Burke said.
“Maybe you don’t know but he was going to do the show.”

Burke then elaborated on her experiences meeting and dancing with Sheen.
“I was like, ‘Are you sure?'”
Because I hate lying, and I just don’t want to lie about how the process is.
It’s beautiful, but it’s freaking a lot of work.
I’m not even going to deny that.
And there’s a lot of press and a lot of interviews, and all of this stuff."
Even with that caveat, Burke met with Sheen.
“I taught him a few steps,” she continued.
“I’m sober now for almost six years, and I have a lot of compassion for him.
He seemed so cool, and he was a lot of fun.
But then he started asking me questions.
He asked me, ‘How many interviews do we have to do?
Do we have to go and do press?’
And I told him, ‘Yeah, we do.
We’re going to GMA.
Like we’re going toGood Morning America.'”
“I don’t know what it was,” she said.
“He judged himself right away.
I taught him a waltz or something.
We talked more than we danced to be honest.
He would be a great candidate.”
“I was very flattered by ABC and their offer,” he said.
“He doesn’t like to work out,” she said.
“There’s a lot of physical activity with dancing.
He also wouldn’t want to do interviews.
