"Dancing With The Stars" returns for its 25th season on September 18. With just a few weeks to go before the premiere, fans are anxious to find out which Celebrities will be competing for the season 25 Mirrorball trophy. On Wednesday, the first couple — Drew Scott and Emma Slater — was introduced on "Good Morning America" and the remaining twelve celebrities, and their pro partners will be revealed on September 6.
If you love HGTV's "Property Brothers" the only disappointment is Drew Scott's twin brother, Jonathan, won't be part of the cast. However, pairing Drew with the defending "DWTS" champion, Emma Slater, is a fantastic choice! And Drew has revealed that he has a "secret weapon" that will help him out on the dance floor — find out what that is below.
Drew hails from Canada
Drew, 39, was born in Vancouver, Canada but currently lives in Las Vegas with his fiancee, Linda Phan, and Jonathan, his twin brother. (Jonathan splits his time between Vegas and the home he shares with his girlfriend in Toronto.
If you're not familiar with the twins' HGTV show, "Property Brothers", it's worth catching up on a few episodes before the "Dancing with the Stars" premiere. In the popular home renovation show, Drew is a realtor and his brother, Jonathan, is the contractor who designs and implements the renovations. There have been several "Property Brothers" spinoffs including "Property Brothers: At Home" and "Brother vs Brother."
What is Drew's 'secret weapon'?
Both Emma and Drew have a great sense of humor and outgoing personalities — they will be fun to watch and could be top contenders this season. And they could be top contenders, as well.
During his appearance on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, Scott said that he and Emma have been rehearsing and admitted that he's "never danced before." However, he pointed out that he's an "athletic, sporty guy" who loves taking on a challenge," so it's game on for the 12 other couples who will compete against Slater and Scott.
And being "athletic and sporty" aren't the only qualities that could help Drew Scott take home the season 25 Mirrorball trophy. ABC reports the HGTV star has a black belt in karate! Who knew!? Drew and Emma think that's their 'secret weapon' this season.
We’ve actually been finding that the coordination and the movement from my karate is actually helping me on the dance floor," Drew said during his "GMA" appearance. Emma agreed, stating that she's never been partnered with anyone with "that kind of experience" and Drew really knows "where to put his body."
"Dancing with the Stars" season 25 begins September 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
