"I was very moved by that and very happy and I feel his presence right now -- very strongly," Grey said, noting that last week was the first anniversary of Swayze's death (September 14, 2009) at 57 from pancreatic cancer.

Earlier on the show, Seacrest said that Grey told him that she sees similarities in Hough's spirit to Swayze's, noting the both have a very "animalistic, go for it attitude."
