Roberts' partner is Britt Stewart.

Ilona Maher

U.S. Olympic rugby star and TikTok sensation Ilona Maher will compete with pro dancer Alan Bersten.

"It's almost like this is a cool rite of passage," Maher told USA TODAY. "So many of my Olympic idols, from Simone Biles to Suni Lee, did 'Dancing.' And it's a new skill that gets me out of my comfort zone."

The athlete admitted that ballroom dancing on a national stage is daunting. Even thinking about the hours of training and live performances in front of an audience can be "overwhelming," she says. Maher has no formal dance training, and few required skills carry over from hard-hitting rugby.

Jenn Tran

“The Bachelorette" Season 21 star Jenn Tran is partnered with Sasha Farber.

Joey Graziadei

The Season 28 star of "The Bachelor" will compete with Jenna Johnson.

Phaedra Parks

Phaedra Parks from "Real Housewives of Atlanta" will dance with Val Chmerkovskiy.

Stephen Nedoroscik

Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, also known as "pommel horse guy," will compete with Rynee Arnold.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling, a "90210" alum, will dance with Pasha Pashkov.

"It's been a crazy journey because for 32 seasons, they've made the call, and I've said no," Spelling said.

Her reasoning had always been an overwhelming fear of dancing on national TV, made all the worse sitting in the studio audience rooting for fellow "90210" alums Ian Ziering (Season 4) and Jennie Garth (Season 5). "Both those experiences terrified me even more, and just seeing how rigorous it all was," Spelling said.
