Country singers, TV dance partners and real-life couple Julianne Hough, a former Las Vegas Academy student, and Chuck Wicks have finally come off the road touring in their separate shows and found time yesterday for a full dance rehearsal. It comes just four days before their first Dancing With the Stars episode of the new season.

It was an intense workout, and the kissing couple said they will continue with eight- to 10-hour rehearsals this weekend right up to the Monday night broadcast on ABC.

Chuck has been writing in his blog -- click HERE and HERE for our recent stories about Chuck’s blog -- about how tough the dance routines are on his body and how frustrated he’s become.

One observer commented: “This duo is so much in love, they will have to learn to stop kissing between their dances! If they dance as great as they kiss, they will go all the way and win. But they have to come up for air on both counts!”

Meantime, it’s still unknown until Monday night if The Girls Next Door beauty Holly Madison, whose relationship with Cirque du Soleil magician Criss Angel recently ended, will replace an injured Jewel on the first show. Both ladies will be there Monday night when the news will be revealed.
