It’s time to get those jazz hands ready and put on those ballroom heels, because Dancing with the stars is almost back in action.

Good morning America announced the famous (and infamous) faces heading to the DWTS stage for the show’s 33rd season on Wednesday. Twelve additional celebrities will join previously announced contestant Stephen Nedoroscik — aka Olympic gymnast and everyone’s favorite vaulting guy — including stars of the big and small screen, reality royalty, a fellow 2024 Olympian, a model and even a convicted fraudster.

Some of the notable names joining the cast include Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, the recently single Bachelorette stars Jenn Tran, Tori Spelling, Reginald VelJohnson, Phaedra Parks, Dwight Howard, Joey Graziadei and fake heiress Anna Delvey, who was described in the show’s official announcement as a “notorious ankle bracelet fashionista.”
