Kym Johnson, a DWTS pro who is not competing this season, currently co-hosts DWTS: All-Access, the show's live online interview series, and will serve as Tom Bergeron's co-host during the main show tonight and for tomorrow's elimination show. 

"My pal @ErinAndrews will be absent from @DancingABC this week to support @jarretstoll whose nephew passed away," Bergeron tweeted on Sunday. "Sending hugs and condolences."

Johnson, who has won two mirrorball trophies, married her most recent partner, Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec, after they competed together in season 20. 

In the past, Andrews has had to take a few breaks from the ballroom to cover the World Series as Fox's MLB sideline reporter, and former DWTS competitor Leah Remini has filled in for her. 

Dancing With the Stars airs Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
