Are you surprised? The mommy of 8 will be one of the celebs joining the ninth season of Dancing With The Stars.

The rest of the line-up will be announced tonight, Monday, after the finale of ABC’s The Bachelor.

Kate will be practicing near her Pennsylvania home in order to continue to take care of her little ones. According to RadarOnline.com:

The show was willing to accommodate her because they believe she’ll be a huge draw.

Do you think fans will vote for her to stay? I feel like with all Jon has done to this point, everyone wants to see the reality TV mom succeed!
