Which Celebrities Are Competing This Year?
We know the premiere date and the professional dancers appearing on this year’s Dancing with the Stars, but what about the actual stars themselves? Well, according to E! News, we’ll have to wait until the show’s season premiere to find out who’s competing.
However, there is one celebrity we can count on competing, which is former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe. Chris Harrison invited Kaitlyn to compete on the show back in June. We don’t yet know which of the pro dancers Kaitlyn will be partnered with.
According to ABC News, Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman will also be returning to the show for Season 29.
