The 68-year-old butter lover and is set to join the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," reported E! News Wednesday. Also on this season's cast list? Ex-boy band dreamboat Nick Carter and Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin. According to E!, Deen was previously offered a spot on season 17 of the competition, but declined, due, perhaps, to the controversy surrounding her admitted use of racist language. Deen subsequently lost her famed Food Network show and a slew of brand partnerships. By AMNY Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Comments We're revamping our Comments section.
