Katherine Jenkins, Jack Wagner and Melissa Gilbert are to take part in the next series of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
The Welsh opera singer, the 'Melrose Place' actor and the former 'Little House on the Prairie' star are among the stars in the line-up for the 14th season of the hit show.
They will be joined by the likes of tennis legend Martina Navratilova, 'The View' co-host Sherri Shepherd, and Jaleel White, who is best known as Steve Urkel from 'Family Matters'.
TV host Maria Menounos, Motown great Gladys Knight, Disney star Roshon Fegan, NFL champion Donald Driver, singer Gavin DeGraw and 'Telenovela' actor William Levy complete the line-up.
The contestants have already met their professional partners and last season's winner Karina Smirnoff - who won with war hero J.R. Martinez - has been paired with Gavin, while three-times winner Derek Hough is partnered with Maria.
Fan favourite Maksim Chmerkovskiy will teach Melissa her moves and his brother, Val Chmerkovskiy, will make his 'DWTS' debut with Sherri.
Two-time champ Mark Ballas will dance with Katherine and Cheryl Burker - who took Rob Kardashian all the way to the final on the last series - has got William.
The new season of 'Dancing with the Stars' will start on March 19.
I have requested Mods to merge this with the established thread "The rumours have already started".
Think that's a bad move on her part can't see her fans being thrilled about her doing DWTS rather than Strictly but she is very keen to crack the US market.
I agree with this. She will want to do better than her ex fiance, and he got to 3rd place [unless you're part of the Gethin was robbed conspiracy like me:D]
However, I cant wait to see how she gets on with Mark:eek:
I cant imagine how Martina will do tennis players dont have a great track record!
I love that Martina N turned up in her jeans and jumper (her face looking very 'fresh' - she must be using Lulu's magic cream. Impossible to tell the real ages of any of these women, in fact :rolleyes:)
Not much recognition from the audience when Katherine Jenkins was announced (she wasn't present).

Almost a foot difference in height :eek:
And I will be very grumpy if there is no Tristan :mad:
ETA - just seen the other list, glad he's in it, but shame he hasn't got a younger partner.
Very surprised to see Katherine Jenkins- was expecting her to pop up on ours.
Martina Navratilova also turned down Strictly this year.
Yeah I've only heard of those 4, but them alone are enough to get me excited about it.
That was Martina Hingis.
Monica Seles also went out very early (1st too?) on DWTS.
I think you're thinking of Martina Hingis (who did get put out the first week)

Gladys is a HUGE name!
Also, amazed that Katherine will be doing the show! Roshon, Jaleel, Martina are also great names
They are all famous for REASONS - not reality shows or famous for being famous.
And I think if they all try hard they could all actually dance, a huge rarity!
I agree with this. She will want to do better than her ex fiance, and he got to 3rd place [unless you're part of the Gethin was robbed conspiracy like me:D]

Cant wait for the series to start
