The GMA star was incredibly nervous but excited about his performance with pro-dancer Cheryl Burke, and he's been documenting his journey ahead of the show.

Lara finished off her message with a heart emoji and Sam replied with a joyful: "Yayayayaya!!"

Although he did also make his fans laugh when he documented a very different dilemma he was struggling with - what to pack before he flew to Los Angeles.

"I had to share this with you," he said in a video between laughter, adding that: "I am in the middle of a freaking mess."
He explained: "I have packed for hurricanes, I have packed for tornadoes, I have packed for flooding, you name it, I have packed for it. But I haven't packed for anything like this."
Revealing that he is not sure how long he will even be on the show, though he hopes to make it far, he said: "I am in the office right now trying to figure out… What do you take to LA for maybe three weeks? Four weeks? I don't know, Cheryl is going to say eleven weeks, awesome, but I'm just counting on the first few."
After apologizing to fans for the "mess", he flipped the camera around to reveal what he had so far, and he appeared to be much more organized than he gave himself credit for as he had neat piles and bags placed around the room.
Sam is competing against a number of stars including, Selma Blair, Bachelorette's Gabby Windey, SATC star Jason Lewis, and Shangela from RuPaul's Drag Race.
