The full cast of season 24 of Dancing with the Stars includes gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles and The A-Team star Mr. T.
Fans of television are sure to find a celebrity to cheer for. Nick Viall, who recently got engaged on ABC's The Bachelor is dancing. So are Glee's Heather Morris and Saturday Night Live alum Chris Kattan. There's also Erika Girardi of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, who is also known as Erika Jayne for her dance club music.
Speaking of music, Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei is competing, and so is Spanish-American singer Charo.
There are plenty of contestants for sports fans to root for this season. Aside from Biles, figure skater Nancy Ann Kerrigan, who won a silver medal at the 1994 Olympics, is competing for the Mirror Ball trophy.
NFL running back Rashad Jennings, who most recently played on the New York Giants, is also dancing, as is professional bull rider and model Bonner Bolton.
