Bristol Palin said Sarah Palin "is excited for me. She knows that this is going to be hard work but she's excited."

Asked if her mother would watch her perform in the studio, Bristol Palin said: "Hopefully".

Professional dancer Lacey Schwimmer had already confirmed on her Twitter page that she will be on the show. Schwimmer's colleague, Damian Whitewood, who danced with Pamela Anderson last season, said he will only be on the results episodes.

Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls won the previous 10th season along with Derek Hough.

Kirstie Alley, an actress who starred in the Look Who's Talking films as well as the sitcom Cheers and two shows based loosely on her life and weight struggles, had squashed rumors that she would join the series as well, saying she was "way too chicken".
