Miami mega influencer just landed a gig on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ We have the deets
University of Miami alum. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. TikToker extraordinaire. Wall Street Journal Magazine cover girl.
And now Alix Earle can add “Dancing with the Stars” contestant to her resume.
The 305 influencer’s latest gig was announced on Thursday’s episode of “Good Morning America” by Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer.
“Oh my gosh,” said Earle, as she greeted the anchors. “It’s so surreal.”
When asked why she accepted the challenge, Earle said it was “easy yes” as a longtime fan of the ABC competition.
“I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma,” said the New Jersey native. “She would always say to me, like, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there.’”
Strahan noted that the 24-year-old danced competitively in high school. So will that give her an edge?
“I danced when I was little until my sophomore year [but] it wasn’t like I was that great or anything,” admitted Earle, adding she does know an eight count, the foundation for most routines. “I would like to say I have some rhythm, maybe, possibly.”
Spencer wondered if the social media superstar, who hit the big time with her popular “Get Ready With Me” videos, would be documenting her time on the reality show.
The answer: 100 percent yes.
“I’m excited to vlog it all as well [and] share the BTS [behind the scenes] process,” said Earle who is also looking forward to the glam costumes.
Also look for her updates on the backstage drama, dating situations and overall tea.
“I’ll be the inside scoop,” Earle promised.
Though an air date has not been released, Season 34 (!) is expected to start sometime in September with Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro as hosts. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough will sit at the judges’ table.
