Rumor has it that reality TV star and mother of eight, Kate Gosselin, will be a contestant during the upcoming season of ABC’s hit show Dancing with the Stars.

The official cast announcement will be made during the season finale of The Bachelor on March 1.

Gosselin first expressed her desire to appear on Dancing with the Stars during an interview with Jay Leno. During the interview, Gosselin laughed about her lack of dance skills, saying her appearance on the show would be a “sad sight.”

The show’s producers think Gosselin will attract a considerable audience to the already popular show. Instead of flying to the West Coast, Gosselin will be able to rehearse in her home state of Pennsylvania, so that she can remain close to her children.

Since her TLC show was canceled when her now ex-husband, Jon, forbade the network from filming the children, Gosselin has been strapped for cash. Since the divorce, she has been the family’s breadwinner. Her appearance on Dancing with the Stars will give her the financial boost she needs as well as give her 15 minutes of fame an extension.

The new season of Dancing with the Stars starts on Monday, March 22.
