Expect a lot of animal print on the upcoming season of
Dancing With the Stars as
Tiger King star Carole Baskin is set to join the show!
The new line-up was announced on
Good Morning America, with Baskin telling the audience, “I want to do the very best that I can possibly do.”
“The biggest thing for me is the longer my partner and I can stay in the running and in the competition it will keep the cats forefront in the viewers’ eye, and to me that was where
Tiger King missed the ball,” the big cat rescuer revealed. “It really should have been focused on the animals and I’m hoping Dancing with the Stars will do that. I am competitive but I am competitive with myself I want to do the very best that I can possibly do.”
Other celebs set to join season 29 of the hit ABC show include Anne Heche, Charles Oakley, former
Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, Vernon Davis, Jesse Metcalfe,
