Fun facts about new season

Conner Leavitt is the husband of Whitney Leavitt, who competed last year, and Sarah Jane Nader, the sister of model Brooks Nader who took part in season 33 - it's a family affair!

Dance pro Witney Carson won last year with Robert Irwin and she's back again this year - and this time she's in her second trimester with her third baby on the way, it means she's the first of the show’s pros to compete so far along in her pregnancy.
