The names were revealed on Tuesday's edition of ABC's Good Morning America.

The cast members join the previously announced contenders Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown, actress Jodie Sweetin and meteorologist Ginger Zee for the introduction on GMA.

Season 22 is to premiere March 21.

The show will once again be hosted by Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. The celebrity judges are Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

Last season's DWTS winner -- TV personality and wildlife conservationist Bindi Irwin -- appeared on GMA via satellite from the Australia Zoo to give the newbies some advice.

"G'day!" she said while smiling and holding a snake. "Honestly, I think it's so important to believe in yourself. Surround yourself with people who will support you -- your friends, your family. I prefer to have a few snakes around me. But, honestly, just believe in yourself, and you'll be able to accomplish anything."

Asked what she wished she knew about the show before getting started, Irwin replied: "I think really I wish I knew more to just remember to cherish every, single moment. I think that every week I was quite nervous for Monday night, and you want to try your absolute best, but you have to enjoy each little moment. Just remember it's about sharing your story."
