The full cast appeared on Wednesday’s Good Morning America to share their excitement about taking part in the competition series
Delvey spent years posing as a wealthy heiress while defrauding a series of banks, hotels, and individuals out of $275,000.
She was arrested in 2017 and found guilty of grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services.
The fraudster was sentenced to four to 12 years behind bars, and was released from prison in 2022 to house arrest.
Her story inspired the wildly popular Netflix series Inventing Anna, which starred Anna Chlumsky, Julia Garner, and Arian Moayed.
She also recently announced that she’d be starring in new reality show, Traits, in which contestants need to deploy ‘deception, lying and not letting people see the real you.’
During Wednesday’s Good Morning America, Delvey – who has been partnered with professional dancer Ezra Sosa – stated that she just wanted the viewers at home to know ‘how good I am at the Cha-Cha’.
Tori Spelling explained that she had been asked to appear many times in the past but had been too scared to take part before now.
‘I always wanted to do it. It’s been one of my life long dreams. I have always too scared,’ she explained. ‘I figured at this point in my life, everything happens for a reason at the right time. I’m going to push through my fear and do it.’

In addition, infamous con artist Anna Delvey, 33, has joined DWTS season 33. She’s seen during her sentencing in 2019
Spelling – who has been partnered with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov – explained that her former 90210 castmate Brian Green had offered some tips, telling the star ‘believe in yourself’.
Meanwhile, Spelling added that she knew her late co-star Shannen Doherty ‘will be watching’.
‘She always said you got to turn your power on. So I’m doing it now,’ Spelling remarked.
Bachelorette star Tran revealed she would be spinning away from heartbreak and taking to the dance floor.
‘I have always wanted to learn to dance. This is kind of like a dream come true, honestly,’ she said. ‘Yes. So crazy.’
As for her dancing experience, she added: ‘I took one ballroom class in college and got credit for it. That counts, right?’

She later added: ‘I think heartbreak is the best motivator for success. I’m out for blood. I’m ready’.
Elsewhere, Bravo star Parks lived up to her TV persona as she shared a playful opening statement: ‘Everybody knows I’m sassy, classy and some of my friends are a wee bit trashy, but if you come for this mirror ball, it will get nasty.’
Team USA gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik was announced as the first celebrity contestant on DWTS season 33 last month.
The athlete, 25, was launched to stardom after an epic performance at the 2024 Olympics.
He became known as ‘pommel horse guy’ after his skills on the apparatus pushed Team USA to win the team bronze medal at the Paris games.
Back in August, Nedoroscik told GMA host Robin Roberts that he was ‘hoping’ to use his gymnastics moves on the dance floor.
‘I’m hoping to bring some of them. I want to bring some flares, I want to bring some of that gymnastics,’ he shared.
‘Maybe a back flip or hand stand. I want to have fun with it.’

NBA star Dwight Howard is hoping to impress with his dance moves, while The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei is hoping to walk away victorious
Actor Eric Roberts – the brother of Julia Roberts and father of Emma Roberts – is also going to be taking to the dance floor
Disney actress Chandler Kinney is taking on a new challenge, while Family Matters star Reginald VelJohnson is hoping he still has some of the moves he displayed on the sitcom
Nedoroscik added that his answer was an immediate ‘yes’ when he was approached about doing the show, and that he was ‘very excited’ to get started.
Opening up on GMA about whether he felt more pressure to compete in a dance competition compared to the Olympics, he stated: ‘Olympics is so stressful. I have also never danced so I’m really nervous about what’s going to happen here.
‘You never know what’s going to happen. We’re going to find out when we step on the ballroom floor.’
Fellow Olympian Maher added: ‘I have been asked this a lot. I am going to say Olympics just because it was my life’s goal. I know it’s going to be really tough and stressful.
She added that being a rugby player might be her disadvantage as she continued: ‘Rugby, I’m tackling and stiff arming people. You put me out there and make me learn the Cuban break — what’s it called? It’s not normal.’
Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will return as judges, while Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro will co-host the show once again.
