Barr, Soules, New England Patriots star Malcolm Butler and radio host Robert Kennedy, Jr. are all apparently in final talks to compete on Dancing With the Stars this season, according to a new E! Online report. The report says that a Disney star will likely be in the mix as well, though they would not specify who it would be.
ABC is slated to make the announcement of the 12 celebrities competing on Dancing With the Stars this season on Tuesday, Feb. 24 on Good Morning America.

The report also says that DWTS producers are trying to get bigger stars in an effort to make the 20th season more special, and to provide counterbalance for the three notable pros that won't be returning. It has been announced that Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke and Karina Smirnoff will not be competing in the new season, three pros who have had varying degrees of popularity with the public.
There are also two other pros that have yet to be announced for the new season. It was announced earlier this month that Mark Ballas, Tony Dovolani, Artem Chigvintsev, Val Chmerkovskiy, Peta Murgatroyd, Kym Johnson, Sharna Burgess, Allison Holker, Emma Slater and Witney Carson would all be returning.
This leaves two male pros who have not been announced. It remains to be seen when the show will make the presumed big announcement.
Dancing With the Stars is slated to return for its 20th season on Monday, March 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
