Adele's celebrity partner for Dancing with the Stars' 35th season will be revealed with the full cast Wednesday, September 2 on Good Morning America.

AJ Pritchard finished Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro as the runner-up after eight weeks of competition.

"I had the opportunity to dance in the finale... Every single moment was just so enriching and something I'll never forget for the rest of my life," AJ said following the results.

"[But] obviously I'm absolutely devastated from every being in my body."

And Selena Hamilton placed third.

During Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro's finale episode that aired Monday night on ABC, the three finalists were each required to perform a ballroom routine as well as an exciting freestyle with a celebrity.

Adele, AJ and Selena were only given three days to choreograph and teach their former DWTS celebrity contestants two dances.

Selena was paired with figure skater Adam Rippon, who won Dancing with the Stars: Athletes with pro Jenna Johnson in 2018.

AJ performed with TikTok influencer Charli D'Amelio, who won Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars alongside pro Mark Ballas.

And Adele was partnered with MTV's Catfish host Nev Schulman, who finished as the runner-up on Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars with Jenna.

For Round 1, Selena picked the jive, AJ danced a Viennese waltz with Charli, and Adele chose the samba.

As for the freestyles, Selena choreographed an athletic contemporary routine, AJ incorporated multiple styles into a high-energy number, and Adele executed an intense paso doble with Nev.

The performances were judged by Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro judges Mark and Shirley Ballas, who were joined once again by guest judge Derek Hough.

"Adele, you could just walk across the floor and be captivating," Derek, who also judges the regular Dancing with the Stars competition, told Adele following her dark and fiery freestyle.

"There is a quality to what you do; there is a maturity. If you became a pro, you wouldn't just fit in -- you would elevate the rest of the dancers in the cast. I really believe that."
