Stephen Nedoroscik recently shared his thoughts as pro dancer Emma Slater shares glimpses of their last VIP DWTS Live Tour and also penned a sweet message for the former. Both Nedoroscik and Slater were part of the hosting team during the live tour.

Notably, the pro dancer also shared a heartfelt note for the professional gymnast and gave him a shoutout for his genuine nature. She remarked:

"I hope that everyone gets the chance to meet @stephen_nedoroscik at least once in their life because he is the coolest and the most genuine guy ever."

Nedoroscik reacted to the post and expressed gratitude for the time he spent on the stage. He wrote:

"You’re the best host Emma!! Gonna miss being on the mic with you!!"
