Jaleel White Cut From “Dancing With The Stars”

After getting eliminated from Dancing With the Stars, former child star Jaleel White  said he was surprised he got as far as he did.

White and his partner Kym Johnson were booted after participating in a Rumba duel with Disney channel star Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower.

“I really only thought I’d last about three dances this competition,” said White. “So to get this far—I’ve made incredible friends, the fans have been incredible. I love Roshon Fegan … I’m glad they saved him.”

White has been quoted saying DWTS has helped him lose weight. “I feel in better shape than I have been since I was in college. It sucks because I want to go out and play basketball but I have no time,” he said to US Weekly. “I want to see what my energy is like and what I can do on the basketball court now, because at 35, trust me, there is a difference between a 35-year-old and a 24-year-old on the basketball court.”

In addition to Fegan, the remaining stars on the show include NFL running back Donald Driver, actress Melissa Gilbert, classical singer Katherine Jenkins, telenovela star William Levy and TV personality Maria Menounos.
