LOS ANGELES (AP) — Convicted con artist Anna Sorokin hit the dance floor on “Dancing With the Stars” wearing a lightweight — and very sparkly — ankle bracelet.

The so-called “fake heiress,” who was convicted in 2019 of defrauding banks, hotels and friends after falsely building a reputation as a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey, debuted the ballroom-worthy ankle bracelet during the premiere of the new season of “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday night.

“It’s actually not a big deal. It’s quite light and I asked them to tighten it so it doesn’t dangle. So it’s not that big of a deal,” she told The Associated Press after the premiere. She and dance pro Ezra Sosa performed a routine to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”

“It’s the real star of the show, let’s be honest,” Sosa said of Sorokin’s bejeweled anklet.

Season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars” airs on ABC and Disney+. It features 13 couples — celebrities paired with professional dancers.

Among them is Olympic gymnast and Penn State graduate Stephen Nedoroscik, also known as “Pommel Horse Guy,” who teams up with professional dancer Rylee Arnold.

They sang a jive to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

While fans were able to vote last night, no one was eliminated from the dance competition. Eliminations will begin next week, when the fan and judge votes are combined.

Sorokin admitted that her debut did not go as planned.

“I’m relieved it’s over,” she said. “I feel like my dancing could have been a little bit better, but I’m glad I did it and it was a great experience.”
