The wildly popular show Dancing with the Stars will begin airing its 19^th season this Monday, September 15^th. Joining the show will be fashion designer and household name, Betsey Johnson. That’s right, the energetic 72-year-old will be dancing every Monday night for the next 11 weeks!

The designer’s end-of-show cartwheels and splits are already legendary in the fashion world, but now the millions of DWTS avid fans will get a chance to witness this spry grandma!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson says “I can’t wait! People think I’m in shape because I watch what I eat but I had been looking for a way to exercise, and I checked out things and didn’t like them. I would run downstairs to (daughter) Lulu’s and catch glimpses of whatever she had on TV and she loves all the reality TV. When I saw Dancing with the Stars, I thought ‘I’d like to do that one’ because dancing is how I’d like to get healthy.”

Of course, Johnson has many supporters, including Ruthie Davis, celebrity shoe designer who assures everyone who her vote will go to, stating “If anyone can pull it off, it’s Betsey. She is so active and I can’t wait to see what happens now when a trainer gets involved!” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
