Top Model Winner Nyle DiMarco Joining Dancing with the Stars
The gorgeous male model is the show's second deaf contestant.
After coming out on top of (what turns out is not) the final season of America's Next Top Model, Nyle DiMarco is setting his piercing blue eyes on the Mirrorball Trophy.
According to E! News, the 26-year-old model, actor and deaf activist will compete on the 22nd season of Dancing with the Stars.
DiMarco will be the second deaf contestant to dance for his life, following Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin's seventh place finish in 2008.
Though ABC declined to comment on DiMarco's casting, the network will officially announce the new star-dancers on Good Morning America on March 8, before the March 21 premiere.
