'Dancing With the Stars' Season 24 News: 'The Bachelor' Star Nick Viall Might Compete In 2017? [VIDEO]
The Bachelor star Nick Viall is very open to competing on another ABC reality show - Dancing With the Stars.
Viall expressed to Entertainment Tonight that he would consider participating as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.
"I mean, I haven't given it much thought. I think it would be fun, you know?" Viall admitted, when asked if he would compete on DWTS. "Who wouldn't wanna do it?"
For the time being, Viall noted that he is "focused on being The Bachelor", though ultimately, "if they asked -- I mean, I don't think I would say my first thought wouldn't be no, but I think anyone would feel lucky to even be considered."
Viall certainly wouldn't be the first Bachelor contestant to then compete on Dancing With the Stars. The Bachelorette star Melissa Rycroft competed in season 8 of Dancing With the Stars where she finished third and returned for the all-stars season and won the Mirrorball trophy.
Other Bachelor/ette stars to compete include Chris Soules, Sean Lowe, Jake Pavelka and Trista Sutter.
Ultimately, Viall has his options open as far as continuing with a career in the spotlight.
"I think I would be open to any great opportunity," he admitted. "I never thought I'd go back on 'Paradise' or 'The Bachelorette' or 'The Bachelor', but I think I have learned in life that it is best to sit back and let things come your way, and take each situation on its own. And if you think that it could be a great opportunity, then I think that is great and I am no different."
You can catch Viall's season of The Bachelor every Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Meanwhile, Dancing With the Stars is slated to come back for its 24th season in March, though a specific premiere date has not yet been announced.
