The gist
Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess will dance a Dedication Night routine joined by his fiancée Tate Madden.
The dance honors mothers, and Cameron's late mom was a big DWTS fan.
Background
Tyler Cameron is a former Bachelorette fan favorite from Jupiter, Florida, who became known on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette and now has 2.2 million social media followers. He is competing on Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS, the ABC celebrity ballroom competition) with pro partner Sharna Burgess. Tate Madden, his fiancée, is from his same hometown and worked on his home renovation series Going Home with Tyler Cameron.
