The Dancing With the Stars celebrity cast for season 30 of the hit competition show was revealed on Wednesday.
The full line-up of celebrities taking part in the latest series of the reality TV show, which is hosted by supermodel Tyra Bank, was announced on Good Morning America.
And soon after new contestant Amanda Kloots shared her joy on social media.

There she is: Amanda was front and center as she spoke on GMA; the stars were socially distanced
The star had already been spied walking into dance rehearsals in Los Angeles so it was not much of a surprise that she was cast on the show.

The stars will each take part in the competition – which begins on September 20 – alongside a professional dancer partner, while judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough will critique their routines each week.
Former supermodel Tyra Banks, who made history as the first-ever black female host of the show – is also returning to lead the weekly coverage of the dance contest.
No doubt the competition for the famous mirror ball trophy will be fierce, particularly among the contestants who boast an impressive dance background, like ex-Rockette Amanda, 39, Olympic gymnastics champion Suni, 18, and 18-year-old Dance Moms alum JoJo – who will make history on this year’s season as the first star to pair up with a pro partner of the same sex.
The stars have already been hard at work on their routines – with several of this year’s contestants seen arriving at training in Los Angeles over the past few weeks. But who stands the best chance of walking away with the trophy at the end of the show?
Joelle Joanie ‘JoJo’ Siwa earned fame early as at the age of nine she was the youngest contestant on the second season of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. She ultimately became a top five finalist in the show produced by Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms fame which aired back in 2013. Siwa then began to appear on Dance Moms before ultimately being selected for the team in 2015.
In 2016, she expanded her career as she released music singles Boomerang which addressed online bullying and was highly successful with the project as the video has been viewed more than 900million times and has received 2.5million likes. In 2019 she went on tour hitting 52 cities throughout the US and Canada.
