McLean was confirmed during Thursday’s episode of Good Morning America, and an exuberant McLean drove the point home on his Twitter account soon after:
McLean is not the first Orlando boy-band survivor to trip the light fantastic on the ABC airwaves. Previous contestants include Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Nick Carter.
The new season of Dancing With the Stars premieres on Sept. 14 on ABC.
