Samantha Harris can't wait to host season seven of Dancing with the Stars.

First, though, she's reflecting on how quickly a year flies by.

"To think that a year ago, before the Dancing season premiere of season five, I was giving birth, and how quickly a year goes, it's fun," Harris told People Magazine. "Seeing her smile and giggle, and learn new things each and every single day – it's incredible how quickly at that young age."

So, will fans see little Josselyn this season?

"I brought her to the Dancing set when she was about five months old, and I hope to bring her back this season as well," Harris said. "She already has a tutu, so she's ready to tango. Wait a second – you don't tango in a tutu, but she'll find a way."

When the subject of George Clooney was raised to Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris earlier this week, she made the following plea:

"George, if you're reading this, I pose this challenge to you: I want to see you shake your hips!"

Harris - who gave birth to a daughter just four months ago - laughed as she explained her desire to see the world's most famous bachelor hit the dance floor.

"Last season, I always said [I'd like to see] David Beckham, because he was new to town, and as long as he would take his shirt off, it would be great."

Of course, Cameron Mathison [of All My Children] took care of the shirtless dancing, leaving the happily married Harris to wonder: "You know what? George Clooney is such a gentleman, and he looks fantastic in a tux, I think that he would do an amazing job in the ballroom numbers… "

We're sure millions of women share that sentiment.

Samantha Harris will make her return to Dancing With the Stars on October 15, she confirmed to People magazine.

The host, who welcomed daughter Josselyn Sydney Hess on September 23, will be back for the remainder of the season.

The news should come as no surprise to fans.

At the beginning of Tuesday's results show, Drew Lachey, Dancing's season two's champ who has been filling in for Harris, announced her imminent return. He said he was, "filling in one last time for Samantha Harris, who's coming back next week.

Audience members reacted with applause, congratulating Lachey on a job well done.

Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris is pregnant.

Harris says she decided to reveal the good news after many people started wondering if she'd gotten plastic surgery.

"My publicist was getting calls about it, my family got calls about it," Harris, told People magazine, laughing. "I did not get a boob job, but I have put on a little weight because I am happy to finally say I am pregnant."

This will be the first child for Harris who is also an E! Entertainment news correspondent, and husband Michael, a financial wholesaler. The couple recently bought its first home in Los Angeles and are readying a nursery for the baby's fall arrival.

"Things are great and we heard the heart beat for the first time," Harris says of her pregnancy, which won't interfere with her hosting duties this season or next.

"I love this show so much I didn't want to miss a single second," says Harris, who is expected to make a formal announcement on tonight's live telecast of Dancing with the Stars.
