Ariana Madix is ready for her Mirrorball trophy! The “Vanderpump Rules” star just announced she will be competing in the new season of “Dancing With The Stars” with a little help from Derek Hough. “I think you’d be fantastic on the show. What are you doing this fall?” Derek asks Ariana in a video posted to Instagram. “Nothing!” she proclaims before agreeing to join in the series. “I’m beyond grateful, excited, and nervous all rolled into one! absolutely thrilled,” she commented on a joint Instagram post with the judge. Ariana’s big announcement comes just months after she discovered that her then boyfriend and fellow, Tom Sandoval, was cheating on her with their “VPR” co-star, Raquel Leviss.
