Carole Baskin is ready to dance!
On Wednesday, it was announced that the “Tiger King” personality has joined the cast of Season 29 of “Dancing with the Stars,” which will premiere on ABC later this month.
The 59-year-old will go up against Chrishell Stause of “Selling Sunset,” NFL tight end Vernon Davis, “Cheer” coach Monica Aldama, Jeannie Mai of “The Real,” rapper Nelly, actress Anne Heche and “Desperate Housewives” alum Jesse Metcalfe.
“Catfish” star Nev Schulman, Disney darling Skai Jackson, former Knick Charles Oakley, actress Justina Machado and figure skater Johnny Weir are also part of this year’s lineup, in addition to previously announced cast members Kaitlyn Bristowe of “The Bachelorette” and Backstreet Boy AJ McClean.
Season 29 will also be Tyra Banks’ first turn in the ballroom as host, as she replaced series vets Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews earlier this summer.
