Glee Actress Heather Morris And Bachelor Nick Viall Join Dancing With The Stars
Get ready for maybe our favorite season of Dancing With the Stars yet. The 24th season of the famed ABC show has added two new members to its celebrity troupe. E! News reports that Glee star Heather Morris and Nick Viall from The Bachelor have officially joined the cast for the upcoming season.
Viall follows in the DWTS footsteps of previous Bachelors Chris Soules, Sean Lowe, and Jake Pavelka, as well as The Bachelorette stars Trista Sutter and Melissa Rycroft. With Viall's season of The Bachelor still currently airing, hopefully fans will be able to get a preview of Viall's dance moves before his DWTS debut.
Morris, on the other hand, has significant experience in dance that could lead to a smooth and easy DWTS victory. Morris played Brittany S. Pierce on the beloved FOX show Glee, where she danced (and sometimes sung) her way into our hearts every week. In fact, Morris snagged her Glee gig by teaching her future cast mates Beyoncé's iconic "Single Ladies" dance—a routine she'd perfected as one of Queen Bey's backup dancers on The Beyoncé Experience Tour.
So yeah, we'd say Morris has a good shot at winning the trophy. Plus, her former Glee costar Amber Riley won the DWTS championship back in season 17, so maybe Morris will find some good luck from her days as a William McKinley High cheerleader.
Morris and Viall join a growing list of impressive cast members. Previously, ET announced that Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and A-Team icon Mr. T would compete on the popular ABC series. Soon after, it was reported that former figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei would also join the cast.
DWTS is scheduled to premiere on March 20, 2017.
