Drew Scott & Emma Slater Dancing with the Stars 25

Good Morning America unveiled the first official Dancing with the Stars season 25 celebrity contestant. Property Brother’s Drew Scott will compete with pro partner Emma Slater.

Drew had already been rumored to join the cast, so other than confirmation of his pro partner, there were no big surprises this morning.

“I can’t wait for premiere night,” Drew told People magazine. “But what I’m really looking forward to is finale night where I hope Emma and I will be holding up the Mirrorball. I want to make her proud and really want her to be a back-to-back champion.”
