Susan Lucci To 'Dance With The Stars'

The Queen of Daytime is about to become the Queen of the Dance Floor. Susan Lucci (Erica Kane, All My Children) is joining this season’s Dancing with the Stars. The daytime diva will be paired Tony Dovolani. Lucci has some tough competition ahead of her this season but something tells me she can always ask AMC co-star Cameron Mathison (Ryan) for any tips as he competed last season.

The Queen of Daytime is about to become the Queen of the Dance Floor. Susan Lucci (Erica Kane, All My Children) is joining this season’s Dancing with the Stars. The daytime diva will be paired Tony Dovolani. Lucci has some tough competition ahead of her this season but something tells me she can always ask AMC co-star Cameron Mathison (Ryan) for any tips as he competed last season.

Lucci’s competition is singer Toni Braxton, singer Lance Bass, former Rock Star host Brooke Burke, Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp, Kim Kardashian, actor Ted McGinely, track star Maurice Greene, chef Rocco DiSpirito, Emmy winner Cloris Leachman, actor Cody Linely, Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, and comedian Jeffrey Ross.

A self professed fan of the show, Lucci is thrilled to be competing this season and has already started to work with Dovolani. She has said she cannot wait for the competition and is looking forward to the journey. The new season begins September 22 on ABC.

You have a lot of fans behind you Susan, good luck!!!
