Additionally, the show makers have disclosed four celebrities who will be participating in the ABC dance competition series. This includes ‘Summer House’ star Ciara Miller, ‘Love Island’ alum Maura Higgins, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson, and Guillermo Rodriguez from ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Hence, chances are one of these already confirmed celebrity contestants might be revealed along with their pro dance partner.
