Shanna Moakler Relates to Helio Castroneves

Shanna Moakler is quickly becoming a major player on reality TV.

The former Playboy model appeared on Dancing with the Stars and is now a judge on the new show Crowned.

Referring to her time on the former series, and the scandal involving this year's champion, Helio Castroneves, and partner Julianne Hough, Moakler recently said the following to The New York Post:

"You work with them for three months for eight hours a day doing these really sexy moves ... you can't help but fall for them," she said, citing her brief fling after the show. "At least I was separated [from husband Travis Barker] when I hooked up with my partner."

Ouch, slight shot at Helio there, huh?
