‘DWTS’ adds Jack Wagner, Sherri Shepherd: report

LOS ANGELES — Heather Locklear’s ex Jack Wagner, “The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd and former “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert are putting on their dancing shoes in the name of reality TV, according to a new report.

The trio have all signed on to the 14th season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” which begins March 19, sources told the entertainment website TMZ.

Soap opera veteran Wagner, 52, is known for his roles on “General Hospital,” “Santa Barbara,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Melrose Place.”

Wagner ended his engagement to Locklear in November, after the couple had dated since 2007.

Along with her role on “The View,” Shepherd, 44, has a recurring role as Angie Jordan on the NBC series “30 Rock.”

Gilbert, meanwhile, had been heavily rumored to be joining the cast of the hit series last season, but a deal fell through at the last minute, according to TMZ.

The 57-year-old is best known as a child actress who starred on “Little House on the Prairie” for 10 years.

The cast will be formally announced on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday morning.

Soap opera actor and Iraq war veteran J.R. Martinez won season 13 of the popular reality show.
