Dancing With the Stars announced its season 20 celebrity cast Tuesday on Good Morning America, revealing 11 of 12 couples who will compete as part of the ABC reality competition's 10-year anniversary edition.
In a surprise twist, DWTS veteran Derek Hough — who was believed to be out for season 20 due to his commitment at Radio City Music Hall's New York Spring Spectacular — will return to the series and partner with gymnast Nastia Liukin.
ABC is also hoping fans of its Friday staple Shark Tank tune in to see investor Robert Herjavec compete alongside pro Kym Johnson; openly gay NFL player Michael Sam is paired with Peta Murgatroyd; and Rumer Willis, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis who is currently enjoying a stint at L.A.'s For the Record: John Hughes — will be partnered with Valentin Chmerkovskiy. For Sam, the Dancing job comes after OWN postponed its planned docuseries featuring the former St. Louis Ram.
