DWTS fans are convinced beloved past winner is returning to new live show after dropping big ‘clue’ on TikTok

DANCING With the Stars fans are convinced one beloved past winner is returning to the show after dropping a big ‘clue’ on TikTok.

Xóchitl Gómez, 18, was crowned last year's champ of the ABC reality show, beating pop singer Jason Mraz, 46, to the Mirrorball Trophy.

The actress was partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy, 38, during her time in the competition - and the pair have reunited once again for some dance prep.

Performing to a remix of Beyonce's Diva, Xóchitl and Val were seen working up a sweat in a rehearsal studio on Monday.

Alongside the clip, the teen star wrote in her caption: "THIS DIVA HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!! @valentin #valisadiva."

Her followers went wild in the comments, with one gushing: "THE GANGS BACK TOGETHER," and another asking: "TEAM XV ARE BACK?!"

Even the official DWTS account posted three fire emojis.

Someone else wrote: "PLSSS tell me y’all are dancing in the finale."

But Xóchitl responded with some disappointing news, revealing they were practicing for Day of the Dead festivities instead.

She wrote: "Aww we’re dancing for dia de muertos !!!! Im so so excited."

It appears Val has some time on his hands after being eliminated from the current season alongside Phaedra Parks.

They were sent home just last week after dancing a jazz routine to Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians for Disney Night.

While he was victorious with Xóchitl, she was slammed by viewers on X, formerly known as Twitter, at the time.

They thought Jason or Vanderpump Rules hero Ariana Madix had deserved to win instead.

One said: "RIGGED SORRY ARIANA ROBBED."

"Ariana deserved second place, she was robbed," said another.

More fans said: "Jason and Daniella were robbed" and "Jason Mraz was robbed."

A fifth wrote: "Just my opinion but Jason was given some tough choreo the whole season, was given difficult ballroom dances that other stars weren’t given (argentine tango), showed that when you’re knocked down to get back up again, AND always gave 110%… so yeah HE WON."

Other fans came after Xochitl because they thought she made a mistake in one of her final performances.

One said: "Can we call out @carrieanninaba and the other judges for not calling out Xochitl on her mistake?

"I’ve never watched before this season and I’d hate to find out that #DWTS is rigged."

Another added: "Of course when Xochitl messes up the judges turn a blind eye. This finale is rigged."
