He wooed the ladies on “General Hospital,” and now Ingo Rademacher is set to woo America as a contestant on the 16th season of “Dancing With The Stars.” Paired with dancer Kym Johnson, Rademacher will be competing against a very diverse cast, including country star Wynonna Judd, “American Idol” alum Kellie Pickler, actress Zendayz Coleman, comedian Andy Dick, Olympic skater Dorothy Hamill, comedian D.L. Hughley, football player Jacoby Jones, boxer Victor Ortiz, Olympic gymnast Alexandra Raisman, and reality star Lisa Vanderpump.
As an experienced kayaker, triathlete and waterman, Rademacher should have no problem holding his own in the intense dance competition, but should he need any pointers, he won’t have to look far: Several of his daytime counterparts, including “GH”‘s Kelly Monaco, “Days Of Our Lives’” Lisa Rinna, and “All My Children’s” Susan Lucci, Cameron Mathison and J.R. Martinez, have also twirled across the stage with the hopes of winning the coveted mirror ball trophy.
Look for the show’s premiere on Monday, March 18, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on ABC.
