It takes two to tango, and this year’s new “Stars” now have their “Dancing” partners.
ABC officially announced all 13 celebrity/professional pairings for this season’s “Dancing With the Stars” on Wednesday.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Nancy O’Dell will be dancing with Tony Dovolani – something that made both Nancy and Tony very happy.
“I’m so glad you’re doing this and I’m really happy I got you,” Tony told Nancy on Tuesday when the pair finally met.
