"I think there are some hookups, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm not one of them," he continued.
According to Derek, the producers don't have any rules about the stars and pros getting down outside the ballroom.
"[The producers] don't say anything about it... You can't stop love! If it happens it just happens," he explained.
