Rycroft had a ton of fan support when she joined DWTS in 2009, fresh off being dumped by Bachelor Jason Mesnick in favour of the runner-up, Molly Malaney. She and partner Tony Dovolani came in third place, but that wasn't the end of Rycroft's dancing journey: she returned for the all-star season in 2012, partnering with Dovolani again, and this time she took home the mirror ball trophy!
Since then, Rycroft has appeared with DWTS as the host of the show's 2015 tour, and she hosted a handful of other reality specials in the years following as well. She's married to Tye Strickland, and they have three children.
