Kaitlyn Bristowe will be competing on the next season of “Dancing with the Stars.” The former “Bachelorette” was offered an invitation by Chris Harrison during her special of “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons -- Ever!” on Monday.
Harrison, 48, had a dramatic lead up before he asked Bristowe, 34, if she would be on Season 29 of the dancing competition. “I have a very real question for you, Kaitlyn, and this is a question I’m very excited to ask you because, well, your life is about to change. And I’m not joking,” he said. “Kaitlyn, will you be on the next season of 'Dancing with the Stars?'”
The “Off The Vine” podcast host’s jaw dropped. “Play it cool, Kaitlyn. Play it cool. Are you serious? I’m shaking. Oh my gosh. I’m literally freaking out,” she said in response.
