Has Cheryl Burke gained a few kilos?

DWTS contestants Cheryl Burke's and Lacey Schwimmer's weight came into the spotlight when her fellow 'Dancing' pros Louis Van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy mentioned how she gained a few pounds. Now Maksim Chmerkovskiy has denied his statement telling PEOPLE his reported comments were "taken completely out of context."

"I am outspoken but I do not discriminate how people look," Chmerkovskiy, 28, says. "That's the great thing about ballroom - unlike jazz and ballet - it doesn't discriminate. People of all shapes and sizes and levels of ability can take part in ballroom dancing." "I never criticized Cheryl or Lacey," Chmerkovskiy says. "I am a big promoter of being healthy and physical activity, but in my business, I do not condemn how people look," he says. "It's sad how all of this got spun."  I think they both look great!
