Roberts’ partner is Britt Stewart.

Ilona Maher

American Olympic rugby star and TikTok sensation Ilona Maher takes on professional 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 takes 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 performing live in front of an audience can be “overwhelming,” she said. Maher has no formal dance training and few of the required skills are borrowed from hard-hitting rugby.

Jenn Tran, star of Season 21 of “The Bachelorette,” is teaming up with Sasha Farber.

The star of season 28 of “The Bachelor” will compete against Jenna Johnson.

Stephen Nedoroscik

Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, also known as the ‘horse man’, will compete with Rynee Arnold.

Tori spelling

Tori Spelling, a former student of “90210,” will dance with Pasha Pashkov.

“It’s been a crazy journey because for 32 seasons they made the decision and I said no,” Spelling said.

Her reasoning was always an overwhelming fear of dancing on national TV, which was made worse when she was in the studio audience cheering on fellow “90210” alums Ian Ziering (season 4) and Jennie Garth (season 5). “Both experiences made me even more scared, and just seeing how hard it all was,” Spelling said.
