America’s next top fan! Tyra Banks breaks down in tears while visiting Nyle DiMarco in Dancing With the Stars‘ latest episode on Monday, April 18, as seen in Us Weekly‘s exclusive sneak peek.
The ABC competition series’ footage shows the supermodel dropping by a Switch Up Week rehearsal for dance pro Sharna Burgess and DiMarco, who won cycle 22 of Banks’ America’s Next Top Model last year.
“I came to visit Nyle today to remind him of just how amazing he is,” the media mogul, 42, tells the camera. “He started the competition very strong — now it’s a little soft. And he needs to come back and pow.”

Banks tearfully tells the season 22 standout when she spots him, “Made me cry — that’s my baby!” DiMarco, 26, and regular partner Peta Murgatroyd earned a 34 out of 40 for their samba last week.
