More 'DWTS' 25 Cast Reveals, Frankie Muniz And More Rumored To Join
ABC may be trying to keep the official cast announcement for Season 25 of "Dancing with the Stars" under wraps, but another leak seems to suggest another four celebrities who are participating, as well as two additional partnerships.
Though ABC has confirmed that "Property Brothers" star Drew Scott would be participating and dancing with reigning champ Emma Slater, a host of other celebrities and their alleged partners have also been revealed. PureDWTS previously revealed that Nick and Vanessa Lachey would be competing and dancing with Peta Murgatroyd and Maks Chmerkovskiy in a double married couples face-off. They also unveiled that WWE star Nikki Bella would dance with Artem Chigvintsev, and "Grease: Live" star Jordan Fisher would participate alongside Lindsay Arnold.
Now, E! News has reported that "Malcolm in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz, Former NBA star Derek Fisher, "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran and former Paralympic swimmer Victoria Arlen are all also signed on for the new season. As for those partnerships, Val Chmerkovskiy will dance with Victoria, while Keo Motsepe will be with Barbara.
As for Muniz and Fisher, the remaining female pros who were confirmed to be competing this season are Witney Carson and Sharna Burgess, which means they would be partnered with the two. Partners for Gleb Savchenko, returning pro Mark Ballas, and the recently promoted Alan Bersten have not been revealed.
Mark previously teased that he came back to the show because his schedule finally lined up with his celebrity partner's, and he had been hoping she would be on the show for some time.
"She's lovely, she's gifted, and she's natural, I would say," he told People Now after revealing he was coming back. "We've known each other for a while. I've wanted her to be on the show for a while, but our schedules never lined up. And then I found out she was doing it, and then I had something in October that cleared. That was a big... like 'Okay, if you'll do it then I'll do it.' It all kind of lined up."
ABC has not confirmed any other cast announcements outside of the pro dancers and Scott, and likely won't until the official reveal, scheduled for Sept. 6 during "Good Morning America."
Prior to confirming he would be part of the pro cast, Maks admitted to IBT that he wasn't entirely sure if he or Peta, whom he married in July, would be back on the show, because they both wanted to prioritize their son, Shai, who was born earlier this year.
"We obviously prioritize Shai, and it's important to both of us to make sure that our time with him is not being cut into, It's one of my main things that I want to be around all the time, and I see all the things that happen," he said.
The official "Dancing with the Stars" cast announcement will take place on "Good Morning America" on Sept. 6. Season 25 premieres at 8 p.m. EDT Sept. 18 on ABC.
