Dancing with the Champs
The Oprah Winfrey Show  |  February 21, 2008
Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough
 

It's hard to believe that Helio had never taken a dance lesson before he signed on for Dancing with the Stars. "It's absolutely true. This was the first time in my life," he says. "I had such a great time."

Julianne says she knew Helio had a champion cha-chaer in him from the beginning. "He did so great," she says.

It's time for the reigning champs to face the judges, and Bruno says the duo hasn't lost its spark. "You two still have the power to light up the room," he says. "You smile, and everybody smiles with you."

In fact, they have so much chemistry, Oprah asks them the question on everyone's mind—are the rumors that they're dating true? "No," Julianne says. "Helio is one of my best friends."
