A source told the media outlet that the production has been wanting to have her on the show for a number of years now.

Like Finch, Rippon had long been eyed to join the cast, as suggested by Entertainment Tonight.

In an interview, Rippon said that to compete on the show would be a great opportunity.

He said, "It would be really fun. I've always wanted to learn how to dance, because I've just been a solo act, like a one-man show.”
