In addition to her famous role as the hilarious yet ditzy Brittany S. Pierce on Glee, Morris has quite the experience as a dancer. She competed on Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance and also performed as a backup dancer for Beyonce on her "The Beyonce Experience Tour" and brief "Single Ladies" promotional tour.
Morris also memorably impersonated Britney Spears and performed a sexy rendition of "I'm a Slave 4 U" on Glee, Fox's hit musical drama-comedy which wrapped in 2015.
After giving birth to her first child with husband Taylor Hubbell in 2014, Morris opted not to return for Glee's fifth season, however, she came back for the final sixth season the following year.
Girardi made her debut on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Season 6. She is married to attorney Thomas Girardi and produced pop songs including "Rollercoaster" and "Xxpensive" under her alter ego Erika Jayne.
Girardi will be following in the footsteps of other Bravo Housewives who competed on previous seasons of Dancing with the Stars: Beverly Hills' Lisa Vanderpump as well as Atlanta's NeNe Leakes, Kim Fields and Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Lisa Rinna also competed on the ABC reality dancing competition in 2006 before she joined The Real Housewives franchise.
As previously revealed, The Bachelor star Nick Viall, Fifth Harmony member Normani Kordei, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, pro wrestler Mr. T, and iconic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan have also joined the Season 24 cast of Dancing with the Stars.
Although the official cast lineup won't be revealed until Wednesday, March 1 on Good Morning America, fan-favorite pro dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his fiancee Peta Murgatroyd recently confirmed their return to the show after welcoming their first child together, son Shai Aleksander, in early January.
Pro Sharna Burgess will also be back, according to a People source, as well as Witney Carson and Val Chmerkovskiy.
Jenna Johnson -- who served as a pro partner for the first time on Season 23 -- reportedly will not be competing on the next edition of Dancing with the Stars, nor will six-time mirrorball trophy champion Derek Hough, who recently signed on to judge Jennifer Lopez's upcoming reality show World of Dance.
