Ginger Zee Joins ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 22

Ginger Zee is about to become a very busy lady. She is the chief meteorologist on Good Morning America, but recently welcomed a son. She literally aired one morning, and had her son soon after. Zee is going to be doing her normal work and taking on something that many people only dream about doing. Because of the birth of her son, Ginger Zee has been on maternity leave from the show. She is set to return next week, just in time for a very big announcement.

Next week, Ginger Zee will return to work full-time on Good Morning America. The show is also hosting the official announcement for Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars next Tuesday. According to Us Weekly, Ginger Zee will be joining the cast to battle it out for the mirrorball trophy. This is exciting news for the meteorologist, especially being less than three months post-partum. Zee was able to reveal that her partner for the show will be Val Chmerkovskiy. This could be a match made in heaven for the fans and the ABC network!

Last December, Ginger Zee left Good Morning America just before Christmas. She delivered her son just days before the big holiday. Sam Champion has been standing in as the meteorologist on Good Morning America while Zee is at home taking care of her new son. She will be returning “home” next week, just in time to be present for the full cast announcement for Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars. Fans are excited to Zee compete on the dancing show, especially because she has a fun personality. The announcement of joining the show came as a shock to Good Morning America viewers, but most agree that Zee is a positive addition to the ABC show.

Now that Ginger Zee has confirmed she is joining Dancing With the Stars, several others have also come out and made their announcements. Yesterday, Jodie Sweetin appeared on Good Morning America to reveal she was on the cast as well. According to Entertainment Tonight, Ginger Zee will be in good company with the women on the show. Jodie Sweetin, Mischa Barton, and Kim Fields have all been confirmed to dance on the competition show. There are certainly more names being released on Tuesday, but for now this is all that is available. Ginger Zee is definitely one of the ladies on the quieter side, but the cast is looking better and better with each announcement made.

Fans have been wondering how Ginger Zee plans to juggle practices and doing Good Morning America five days a week. While this wouldn’t seem too overwhelming for some, Zee has a brand new infant son at home. Discipline is going to be key, and Ginger Zee has the type of determination that will get her through it. While it is unclear how much dancing experience she has, Zee has the potential to do well on Dancing With the Stars this season.

The next several weeks are going to lead to major anticipation for Ginger Zee fans. She will be returning to her normal gig, but also stepping out of her comfort zone. Besides being on Dancing With the Stars, she is also paired with a fan-favorite dancer, Val Chmerkovskiy. Busy is going to be the new word for Ginger Zee. From being at Good Morning America early in the morning to late night rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars, Ginger Zee is going to turn into superwoman. Fans are ready to support her by calling in and voting. While she may not be the winner of the mirrorball trophy, fans are hoping Ginger Zee will stay in the game longer than many expect.
