The Kardashians (Jenners), love them or hate them, they always secure great ratings, a fact of which ABC is probably more than aware of. Bruce Jenner, now estranged husband of matriarch Kris, will be appearing on season 18 of Dancing With the Stars.

Nothing is confirmed as of this moment, since it will be another while until the network announces the full lineup, but word has it that Bruce has been talking to producers about getting his dancing shoes on for the upcoming season.

“He's dying to do it. The show is close to locking him in,” an insider reveals for Us Weekly, adding that Bruce “would have fun with it.”

If Bruce does land this deal, he will become the third Kardashian-Jenner to have a go at the mirrorball trophy, after stepchildren Kim Kardashian and Robert Kardashian. Hopefully, Bruce will last longer on the show than either of them.

Meanwhile, if we’re to believe reports, Bruce is en route to making the transition to a woman: he’s had his Adam’s apple shaved off and is looking forward to having gender reassignment surgery.
