You won’t believe who’s trading in her jail cell for a dance floor! Anna Delvey joins DWTS with an ankle monitor! 😲

In a twist that no one saw coming, notorious con artist Anna Delvey, better known as Anna Sorokin, is set to join the cast of Season 33 of "Dancing With The Stars". The fake heiress, who gained infamy through her elaborate scams and was highlighted in the popular Netflix series "Inventing Anna," is taking a step onto the dance floor. Competing against a star-studded line-up that includes two Olympians, actress Tori Spelling, and reality TV star Jenna Tran, this season promises to be one for the books! While most people just dread Monday mornings, Anna seems to be approaching the reality show glamour with the same gusto as any star stepping into the limelight.

But here's the kicker – Anna is not just competing in a stunning glitter-filled dress; she's doing it while sporting an ankle monitor! In a hilarious turn of events, Anna has confirmed that she received “permission from ICE” to participate in the show, leading fans to wonder how this will affect her performance. "In what way would it affect my movement?" she quipped, leaving viewers intrigued by how she will tackle her choreography while maintaining her house arrest status. Let's just hope those dance shoes are appropriately adjusted to accommodate that ankle monitor!

Anna’s journey is even more fascinating considering that she reportedly watched "Dancing With The Stars" while serving time, making her return to the stage seem like both a wild fantasy and a reality for the reality show fanatic. Her glam moment is a true redemption story, as she dives into the glitter and sequins that she once longed for from behind bars – the epitome of a comeback, even if it’s a little unconventional!

And the fun doesn't stop with just dancing! Anna has an exciting lineup beyond the ballroom, including modeling at New York Fashion Week. With appearances that blend the worlds of crime, glamour, and dance, Anna Delvey is set to dance her way into our hearts (and into our social media feeds) – one cha-cha at a time! Dance like nobody's watching, Anna, but better check if there’s a camera crew nearby!

As Anna moves from con artist to contestant, her story reflects a broader conversation about fame, identity, and second chances. Plus, did you know that "Dancing With The Stars" is celebrating its 33rd season? That’s 33 years of cha-cha, glitter, and plenty of drama, which seems almost tailor-made for Anna’s story! Watch out for this season, it’s bound to be an entertaining rollercoaster ride filled with scandal, strategy, and, of course, sensational footwork!
