Dancing with the Stars has found its next star in Alix Earle.

The influencer, podcast host, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model joined Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer on Good Morning America on Thursday to announce her participation, becoming the second celebrity to join Season 34 after Robert Irwin. When questioned about her decision to participate, Earle expressed that she has “always been a fan” of the show.

“I used to watch it when I was very young with my grandma, and she would always tell me, ‘Maybe one day you can be on there,’” she said. “I was fascinated with dance. When this opportunity arose, it felt like the right step to take. I’m ready to push my boundaries. I believe it’ll be incredibly fun. So accepting it was an obvious choice.”

In the conversation, Earle mentioned that she danced during her childhood up until her sophomore year in high school. However, she emphasized that she has never tried ballroom dancing or danced with a partner before, making this “a completely new journey” for her.

Earle, who graces the cover of this month’s WSJ. Magazine, also told Strahan and Spencer that she will serve up “the inside scoop” as she vlogs her experience a la “Get Ready with Me” (GRWM) videos that have become a trademark of hers online. Earle graced the cover of Wall Street Journal

As for Irwin, who was revealed to be vying for the Mirrorball Trophy next season during Hulu’s Get Real event last month, DWTS pro Alan Bersten told DECIDER that he thinks the late Steve Irwin’s son is “gonna do amazing.”

“He’s such a nice guy and is in great shape. I’m sure he’s taking dance lessons now. You just wanna root him on. So I’m sad that I won’t get to dance with him myself,” he said with a laugh. “He’ll do very well, I believe.”

Dancing with the Stars Season 34 is slated for a fall premiere. The new season will air on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m on ABC and stream live on Disney+, with next-day streaming on Hulu.
