Like fans, Derek Hough is excited for Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, which will once again feature a dynamic cast of celebrities and dance professionals.

The reveal has yet to happen. Only one DWTS contestant has been revealed to Good Morning America so far.

Hough, previously a professional dancer on the show, now sits on the judging panel alongside Carie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.

He has been part of the show for several seasons and has seen several celebrities give their best on the dance floor.

This goes for singers, actors, reality TV stars, Olympic athletes and professional athletes.

Hough recently shared three celebrities he’d “love to see” on the dance floor competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Hough said he would “love to see” Mad Max Furiosa actress Anya Taylor-Joy because she would be “fantastic” as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.

“She’s a great actress, but I’ve also heard she’s a great dancer, so I’d love to see her dance,” he said.

Another candidate he would pick as a DWTS contestant is singer Celine Dion, who received praise for her incredible performance at the Paris Olympics last month.

“I always talk about Celine Dion because every time I see her we end up dancing, and so I would love to see her,” Hough said, via Parade.

Finally, he mentioned a popular reality star, Phaedra Parks, as a potential competitor on the dance floor.

“I’ve been really into The Traitors this past year, I’ve loved it because I love playing Mafia, it’s such a fun game. I thought Phaedra, she’s a character, I think she would be fantastic on the show,” Hough said.

Phaedra appeared in seasons 3 through 9 of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta and recently returned for season 16. She also competed in Peacock’s The Traitors season 2 and nearly made it to the end, but was banished from the game just one episode before the finale.

Hough called to make sure they had a specific competitor for DWTS 33

As mentioned, one celebrity has already been confirmed for DWTS season 33. Good Morning America had an early reveal with Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik announced as part of the cast.

Nedoroscik, 25, won silver with the U.S. men’s gymnastics team last month in Paris, France. He also became a viral sensation as an internet meme after a photo circulated that appeared to show him sleeping before an event.

According to Hough, he’s in favor of the Olympic medalist’s participation on the show and even called to make sure DWTS would sign him up.

“It’s so funny, I actually called it. I saw Stephen on TV with the glasses and I texted Deena (Katz), the casting director, and I said, ‘Deena, are you on the phone yet?’ She said, ‘I’m on it.’ She was already ahead of the game. Of course, she’s incredible,” Hough said, per Parade.

While Hough must remain impartial as a judge, he will likely enjoy what Nedoroscik brings to the dance floor from the Olympics.

Several Olympic athletes have managed to win the show, but other stars will also be vying for that coveted trophy. The full announcement is expected to air on ABC’s GMA on Wednesday, September 4.

Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars premieres Tuesday, September 17 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
