Exclusive: Bruno Tonioli reveals what fans can expect from 'feisty' Dancing With The Stars hopefuls

The new season of Dancing With The Stars will be "spicy and feisty," judge Bruno Tonioli told HELLO! ahead of the season premiere.

"It is a very, very good cast  – very spicy, very feisty. But it's a show that I always feel  is the first time – you can never approach it with what has happened before because they're all so different," he shared.

"It's so exciting and I just can't wait… my mind is completely open, and I'm ready to be dazzled."
