'Dancing With the Stars' reveals its new cast
LOS ANGELES — The new crop of celebrity hoofers competing in Season 18 of “Dancing With the Stars” has been revealed.
As has become tradition, the unveiling occurred Tuesday morning during “Good Morning America,” with the celebrity cast on hand live.
There are TV stars of yesteryear, including “The Wonder Years’” Danica McKellar, and “Full House” big sis Candace Cameron Bure.
Some sports stars: recent gold medal winners from the Sochi Olympics, ice skating duo Meryl Davis and Charlie White; and swimming legend Diana Nyad. And some firsts: snowboarding champ Amy Purdy, who lost her legs as a teenager, will be the first Paralympian to compete; and Sean Avery will be the first former hockey player to hit the shiny wood floors.
Also getting in the dancing fun are comedian-turned-game show host Drew Carey, “Real Housewives” personality NeNe Leakes and acting veteran Billy Dee Williams.
Sure to bring in some young viewers are Australian pop singer Cody Simpson and “Big Time Rush” actor-singer James Maslow.
The long-running ABC show comes into its 18th season with more than a fresh crop of celebrity contestants. The show recently axed co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet and replaced her with former contestant/sports host Erin Andrews.
