Dance Your Ass Off Gets New Host

Marissa Jaret Winokur has lost her gig with Dance Your Ass Off to the sexy former Spice Girl, Mel-B. The executive producer of the show said that they switched to Mel-B because the Oxygen channel’s core audience grew up with the Spice Girls and there’s a large portion of the audience that can’t connect to Winokur. But Winokur’s representative told People magazine a different story:

“Marissa’s reasons for not returning to season 2 are the following: the format of the program did not allow her to interact with the contestants and offer them encouragement and support, and criticism she received from producers regarding her appearance.”

The Tony award winning actress has been struggling with her weight for a couple of years, and it looks like Marissa was axed from the show due to her weight.  As for Mel-B she is very excited about taking on the show as she knows what it’s like to dance and lose weight and she’s looking forward to following the contestants’ journeys.
