Former NFL Pro Terrell Owens Joins Dancing With The Stars
Meet the latest celebrity to compete on Dancing With the Stars!
On Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017, Good Morning America announced that former San Francisco 49ers player Terrell Owens, also known as T.O., has joined the dancing competition for the show's 25th season. And his dancing pro partner is none other than Cheryl Burke, who already has two mirror ball trophies to her name.
"I'm hoping to put up some big numbers with this lovely lady right here," Owens, 43, told GMA hosts, pointing toward his new partner.
The two have apparently already gotten started with their training. "We [practiced] a few hours the other day," Burke explained. "I have to say, he's got some rhythm. We just, you know, gotta start from the beginning because he's never danced before."
The 33-year-old Dance Moms instructor continued, "He's all about lights camera action. He's a performer, so I'm definitely going to use that to our advantage."
