‘Dancing with the Stars’ Guesting Stint Offer Politely Turned Down by Caitlyn Jenner

Previous rumors about Caitlyn Jenner’s participation in the dance competition show “Dancing Wih the Stars” have been proven false as the transgender reality TV Star denied any negotiations with ABC on the matter.

According to reports, Jenner’s publicist announced that the answer to the question of whether Caitlyn would be interested in starring the show was a simple “No, thank you.” Reports suggest that there still exists the chance for Jenner to participate in the show, if she were to change her mind before the slots are filled. If indeed she changes her mind and decides to make a go for it, Caitlyn would be the first transgender to join the popular ABC dance show.

Rumors about Jenner’s participation in “Dancing With the Stars” began with a statement from Derek Hough, who has participated in the show before, as he claimed that he would return to Season 21 of the show as Jenner’s dance partner. As previous rumors about Jenner’s alleged participation in “Dancing With the Stars” spread, the Mirrorball trophy winner Hough declared that he would love to dance with her.
