Tiktoker Charli D’amelio And Her Mom Heidi On The Floor Of Dancing With The Stars

Dancing With the Stars,” made its triumphant return on Monday, debuting only on Disney+

There were many firsts in the seasons 31 debut, including a welcome change for Canadian fans, who may now vote online for their favorite stars.

Jason Lewis, the star of “Sex and the City,” was the first contestant to be eliminated following a national and worldwide vote. Former “Real Housewife” Teresa Giudice will appear again the following week after being spared by the judges. 

Jordin Sparks, a former contestant on “American Idol,” opened the new season of “DWTS” by dancing to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” in a glam cha-cha. Sparks had one of the best scores by the end of the night, but the race for the Mirrorball Trophy is already very close.

Charli D’Amelio, a popular TikTok user, Wayne Brady, Gabby Windey, Shangela from “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Daniel Durant from “CODA,” and actress Selma Blair have all been named as contenders for this season. 

Brady, who has admittedly little dance experience, completed the night in second place with his exuberant cha-cha. D’Amelio, who has a background in competitive dance, claimed a dominating lead with her top-scoring cha-cha. Shangela came in one point behind Brady, and judge Len Goodman commended her for balancing technical proficiency and stage presence. 

Windey, for her part, has a chance to follow in the footsteps of Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe, who won their seasons of “The Bachelorette” thanks to their upbeat dance moves. 

Charli D’Amelio in Dancing with the Stars

There are rumors that Charli D’Amelio and her mother Heidi D’Amelio will join the “Dancing With the Stars” cast for Season 31.

According to TMZ, Heidi, 50, and Charli, 18, have been chosen to compete on the upcoming season of the dancing competition show, which premieres on Disney+ next month.

They’ll “appear as different contenders,” contending against one another in the hopes of taking home the coveted mirrorball trophy, the outlet claims.

With their enormous fan following and TikTok dancing prowess, Charli and Heidi will probably have a distinct advantage in the ballroom. Not to mention the added help from Charli’s boyfriend, Landon Barker, Travis Barker’s son, and Dixie D’Amelio, her sister.

Charli has also collaborated with “DWTS” judge Derek Hough and his sister, former judge Julianne Hough, who is also a former professional. During the March premiere of the “Step Into… the Movies” special, the three joined forces for a “Dirty Dancing” tribute.
