A Hollywood ex-wife is set to hit the dance floor on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. Marla Maples, the former wife of business mogul Donald Trump and star of the now defunct ABC series Ex-Wives Club, has been cast as a celebrity participant on the sixth and upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, as In Touch Weekly reported on Friday.
The magazine reports that a friend of Marla Maples sad that the 44-year-old actress has "landed a spot on the hottest show. She's in great shape, so dancing is only going to make her look even better."
The friend added that the producers of the hit celebrity dance competition are hoping Trump, who stars in NBC's The Apprentice, will join the show's studio audience to watch Marla perform on the show.
Marla Maples was Trump's second wife and the two were married for more than five years. They also have a daughter named Tiffany, who was born in 1993. In 1999, the couple divorced.
Just last summer, Maples starred alongside Shar Jackson and Angie Everhart in ABC's short-lived series, Ex-Wives Club. The show featured the hosts helping recent divorcees move on with their lives by getting rid of things that had to do with their former life partners.
Nonetheless, Marla Maples isn't the only one that is being rumored to be among the contenders in Dancing with the Stars 6. In fact, In Touch claims that actor Sean Hayes, most known for his portrayal of the flamboyant Jack McFarlane on NBC's Will & Grace, may also grace the dance floor of the celebrity competition. Meanwhile, E! Online's Mark Malkin reported last week that Priscilla Presley, ex-wife of the legendary Elvis Presley, has ?signed on, or is close to signing on? to the show. However, a representative for Presley told Malkin that she is not ?confirmed to do Dancing [with the Stars],? but ?could not confirm nor deny? that she has been in talks with producers.
Season 6 of Dancing with the Stars premieres on Monday, March 17 at 8pm on ABC, while the network is set to officially announce the contenders later this month.
