MATTHEW Morrison has been fired as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, leaving fans shocked.

The Glee star joined the competition series in April.

Vendredi, Matthew stunned fans as he announced his exit.

The actor joined So You Think You Can Dance in April alongside JoJo Siwa.

In a statement provided to Date limite, Matthew said: “Having the opportunity to be a judge on So You Think You Can Dance was an incredible honor for me.

“Par conséquent, it is my deepest regret to inform you that I will be leaving the show.”

The statement went on: “After filming the audition rounds for the show and completing the selection of the 12 finalistes.

“I did not follow competition production protocols, preventing me from being able to judge the competition fairly.”

The statement concluded: “I cannot apologize enough to all involved and I will be watching alongside you all on what I know will be one of the best seasons yet.”

It’s unclear what the protocol violation in question was.

Matthew and JoJo were brought on to replace Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, and Laurieann Gibson on the latest season of the show.

Deadline reported that a new judge will be brought on to join JoJo, 19, and Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss on the show.
