The estranged wife of Paul McCartney will be "Dancing with the Stars" when the ABC competition returns next month.

On "Good Morning America" on Feb. 21, talk show host and former "Dancing With the Stars" cast member Jerry Springer announced the men and women who would be on the hit show's new season.

Heather Mills will be the first contestant with an artificial limb. She lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in 1993.

Springer told ABC that Mills may be the sentimental favorite -- even though her favorability ratings from some Beatles fans may put her on a par with Yoko Ono.

Other dancing contestants include Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, boxer Laila Ali, former country star Billy Ray Cyrus, former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone and former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Ian Ziering.

The ABC Television Network said the hit series "Dancing with the Stars," is coming back with a two-hour premiere on Monday, March 19 from 8 to 10 p.m. EDT.

Viewers will see two weeks of the performers in action before voting and the first results show will air in week 2. The second performance show, airing Monday, March 26, will also be two hours long.

The first results show will air Tuesday, March 27 at 9 p.m. EDT.

Beginning April 2, "Dancing with the Stars" will air Mondays from 8 to 9:30 p.m. EDT, and "Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show" will air on Tuesdays from 9 to 10 p.m. EDT

"The great thing about this air schedule is that fans won't have to choose between the two reality hits this spring," said Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment on the show's Web site.

"Dancing with the Stars" is the U.S. version of the international smash hit series "Strictly Come Dancing." This version is produced in America by BBC Worldwide. Conrad Green and Richard Hopkins are executive producers and Izzie Pick is co-executive producer. Rob Wade and Matilda Zoltowski are supervising producers. Alex Rudzinski directs.
