Michael Sam Joins The Cast Of Season 20 Of "Dancing With The Stars"
Recently engaged footballer Michael Sam has signed on to compete in the upcoming 20th season of Dancing with the Stars, joining an expectedly bizarre hodge-podge of celebs including Suzanne Somers, Patti LaBelle, Olympian Nastia Liukin and Rumer Willis.
We were hoping to see Sam samba-ing with resident DWTS hotties Derek Hough or Valentin Chmerkovskiy, but instead he'll been paired with blonde bombshell, Peta Murgatroyd. But hey, we'll take our Michael Sam however we can get him.
The 10th anniversary season will see the return of Disney and Latin theme nights, introduce a new Spring Break night, and see the installation of all-access cameras in the rehearsal studio which will be made available via live stream.
The full cast with partners includes:
Noah Galloway with Sharna Burgess
Robert Herjavec with Kym Johnson
Patti LaBelle with Artem Chigvintsev
Nastia Liukin with Derek Hough
Riker Lynch with Allison Holker
Charlotte McKinney with Keo Motsepe
RedFoo with Emma Slater
Michael Sam with Peta Murgatroyd
Willow Shields with Mark Ballas
Suzanne Somers with Tony Dovolani
Rumer Willis with Valentin Chmerkovskiy
