The country music world will be well represented on the upcoming 16th season of Dancing With The Stars as it has been announced that Kellie Pickler and Wynonna Judd will participate.
"This is something I said I would never do. They asked me for six years," Judd tells ABC. "I'm trying to get back to my original weight of eight pounds and six ounces . . . It's the year of doing things you're scared of!"
Wynonna's professional dancing partner will be Tony Dovolani, the show's reigning champ who won last season's "All Star" competition with Melissa Rycroft. Pickler is paired with Derek Hough, a three-time champ.
The two country stars square off against Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman, comedians Andy Dick and D.L. Hughley, Olympic skating legend Dorothy Hamill, soap opera actor Ingo Rademacher, Baltimore Ravens star Jacoby Jones, reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump, boxing champion Victor Ortiz and actress-singer Zendaya Coleman.
