What To Know
- Ciara Miller was announced as a Dancing With the Stars Season 35 cast member five months ahead of the September premiere.
- She revealed that she hasn’t started training for the competition yet.
- Miller also shared how she plans to get in shape before rehearsals begin at the end of summer.
As one of the Dancing With the Stars Season 35 cast members to get announced early, Ciara Miller has the advantage of having time to get in shape ahead of most of her competition. The Summer House star is currently in Fiji cohosting Love Island: Aftersun, but is ready to get to work when she returns home.
“I’m just trying to get in shape because I don’t want to be wheeled out on a stretcher. That’ll be the saddest thing that happens,” Miller recently told E! News, also noting that her toned figure is not “indicative of being in shape.”
“I do have some cop going up the stairs, so I gotta get back into the gym and work on my stamina,” Miller admitted. She also said she’s “determined to put up a good fight” in the dance competition. “I’m definitely training myself,” she confirmed. “I gotta go to the gym and do the Stairmaster.”
Being in good physical shape will help, but Miller will also have to learn how to become a technical dancer if she wants to win the competition. That training won’t begin until she meets her celebrity partner ahead of the September Dancing With the Stars premiere. Rehearsals generally begin about two weeks before the first live show. So far, Miller, Maura Higgins, and Jackson Olson have been confirmed as Season 35 cast members.
Meanwhile, Miller’s future with Bravo remains up in the air ahead of Summer House’s 11th season. She joined the show during Season 5 in 2020, but after it was recently revealed that her best friend Amanda Batula and ex West Wilson were in a relationship, it’s unclear whether she’s planning to return to the series. Filming generally begins on July 4th weekend in the Hamptons, and no Season 11 casting decisions have been confirmed yet.
