Mario Lopez denies he had an advantage on Dancing With The Stars

Lopez, 35, host of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, lost to former NFL star Emmitt Smith during the wildly popular show’s third season.

He faced criticism about getting an unfair advantage by having a dancing background, but said he is no pro.

“I thought that was very flattering. I’m not a professional. I pick up stuff quick.”

Of his runner-up status, he said, “The whole thing was fun. It’s not like we were aspiring to be professionals or anything. At least, I wasn’t.”
