Cast of Dancing With The Stars Season 24 Revealed on GMA!
By Ani Bundel
Spring is here, and with it the newest cycle of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Check out the brand new cast of those competing for Season 24.
Dancing With The Stars is set to return once more to ABC, for their 24th season. Keeping it inside the ABC family, the announcement of the brand new cast of half forgotten household names competing for the mirrorball trophy was made this morning on Good Morning America.
Rumored to be competing ahead of today’s announcement is another of the ABC in house family: Nick Viall, the current most eligible man on this season of The Bachelor. There is also wor that Normani Kordei, one of the remaining remembers of Fifth Harmony (who I assume are changing their name to Fourth Harmony since Camila Cabello quit.) Mr T and Simone Biles have also been previous reported as joining the cast, as well as bull rider Bonner Bolton, ex-Glee cast member Heather Morris, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and the legendary Charo.
In the returning pros confirmed already: Witney Carson, Kym Johnson, Peta Murgatroyd, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Keo Motsepe, Sharna Burgess and Sasha Farber.
We’ve also heard that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama were both approached to be on this season, and turned it down. (For which we are very thankful. One assumes if things had gone the other way, the same restraint would not have been applied.) So apparently did Ashlee Simpson, but that’s not nearly as interesting as the first two.
