Last November, the two-time Dancing with the Stars professional champion had stated she would not be back for the show's Spring 2009 eighth season. She subsequently reiterated the decision was "final" because she wanted to focus on her singing career and be "taken seriously" as a musician.
Even before Hough and Wicks were ousted from the competition, she said she still planned to skip the currently airing ninth season -- a decision she followed through on.
"I'm sure I'll be back," Hough told Access Hollywood. "It's great. I mean, this stuff, tonight was really, really fun."
In addition to focusing on music, Hough is also attempting to launch her career as an actress.
She's set to co-star in the film Burlesque next year with Christina Aguilera, Cher, Cam Gigandet, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci, and has also been tapped to star in a remake of the film Footloose alongside Gossip Girls actor Chace Crawford.
