LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- "Dancing with the Stars" co-host Samantha Harris will not be returning for the U.S. dance competition show's 10th season, ABC said Thursday.

The latest edition of the series is to premiere March 22.

Tom Bergeron will return as the show's co-host, but Harris' replacement has not been announced yet, ABC representative Conrad Green told UsMagazine.com.

"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Samantha since she joined the 'DWTS' team in Season 2. She will be much missed, but always part of the 'DWTS' family. We support her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors," Green said.

No reason for Harris' departure was given.
