E! News reports exclusively that former GLEE star Heather Morris will join the celebrity cast of DANCING WITH THE STARS' Season 24. In addition, sources tell the site that THE BACHELOR's Nick Viall will also trip the light fantastic on the popular ABC dance competition.

In recent weeks, reports have surfaced that additional cast members will include Mr. T, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, SNL alum Chris Kattan, Olympic FIGURE SKATING legend Nancy Kerrigan, Fifth Harmony's Normani Kordei, singing legend Charo and former New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings.

Morris brings a considerable amount of dance experience to the show and was even a contestant on the second season of FOX's So You Think You Can Dance. She also appeared as a backup dancer for Beyoncé's "The Beyoncé Experience Tour" and the mini "Single Ladies" promotional tour. The actress portrayed cheerleader Brittany S. Pierce on the FOX musical dramedy, which ended its run in 2015. That year, Morris wed Taylor Hubbell. The couple now have two children together. While Morris did not appear in the fifth season of GLEE, she did return for the show's 100th episode as well as the sixth and final season.

ABC has not confirmed casting reports. The full cast list will be revealed on GOOD MORNING AMERICA this Wednesday, March 1. The new season of Dancing With the Stars premieres Monday, March 20 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
