Lolo Jones, Randy Couture, Kacy Catanzaro, and Antonio Sabato Jr are among the latest rumored cast members for Dancing With the Stars season 19.
TMZ reported that it obtained a “DWTS” producers wish list, and it included Olympian Jones, ex-UFC fighter Couture, American Ninja Warrior star Kacy Catanzaro, and General Hospital star Sabato.
Entertainment Online said that it has confirmed through sources that General Hospital star Antonio Sabato Jr. will be competing in the upcoming season.
ABC doesn’t comment on casting rumors.
The full non-professional cast will be announced on Good Morning America on September 4.
Besides being known for his role on General Hospital, Sabato has modeled for Calvin Klein.
Other recent rumors say that Bachelorette Andi Dorfman and possibly her fiance Josh Murray will be on the season; professional football goalkeeper Tim Howard may be on; and country singer Jesse James Decker will be competing.
The producers also want to land a female YouTube star.
Janel Parrish, whose character was just killed off in Pretty Little Liars, is also rumored to be heading to the show, reported Entertainment Online.

The professional dancers have been confirmed by ABC and will not include Maskim Chmerkovskiy, who doesn’t want to compete anymore after winning last season with Meryl Davis.
The pro dancers are: Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, Val Chmerkovskiy, Karina Smirnoff, Tony Dovolani, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvinstev, Allison Holker, Keo Mostepe, Peta Murgatroyd, and Emma Slater.
