During the morning show it was announced which celebrities would be linked to the professional dancers. It was also announced which judges would return to the show.

A year ago, she said she had been “afraid” of her parents’ death all her life.
Mira admitted in August 2022 that her grief was still very raw.

‘I miss you dad! I have feared the death of my parents all my life. Now it’s partially happened,” the Barcelona actress tweeted.
She added: “I have enormous sympathy for anyone who has lost parents. It leaves you loose, pushes you into a position you were unprepared for, without the counsel and love of those you most valued…’
Mira – whose mother is Paul’s ex-wife Lorraine Davis – received support from her famous friends, with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill writing: ‘Dear Mira – Your loss is shared by a world enriched by his impeccable artistry. His legacy is immeasurable, like you I will cherish his memory forever.”
And Patricia Arquette wrote: ‘I know it’s a great loss. Your father was also a great actor and he was so proud of you.”
Mira previously paid tribute to her ‘amazing father’ after his death.
She said: “My father, the great Paul Sorvino, has passed away. My heart is torn – a lifetime of love, joy and wisdom with him is over.
‘He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. Sending you love in the stars, Dad, as you take off.”
Paul died of natural causes after battling several health issues in recent years.
His wife Dee Dee, whom he married in 2014, said in a statement: “Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life and one of the greatest artists to ever grace the screen appeared and phase.’
In addition to Mira, Paul was also father of Amanda and Michael and had five grandchildren.
Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion’s Sorvino, who mentioned her father Paul during her Oscar acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1995 film Mighty Aphrodite, made the rounds.
The segment was moving as Mira said on stage that her father Paul taught her everything she knew about acting, he covered his face with his hands and burst into tears as he sat next to her mother Lorraine Davis.

The speech took place at the 68th Academy Awards in 1996, which was held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles.
“When you give me this award, you honor my father, Paul Sorvino, who taught me everything I know about acting,” said Mira, who wore her blonde hair in a bun as she accessorized with a stunning diamond necklace.
“I love you so much, Dad,” she added.
Shortly after news of Paul’s death, Mira took to Twitter to express her grief.
‘My father, the great Paul Sorvino, has passed away. My heart is torn – a lifetime of love, joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. Sending you love in the stars, Dad, as you take off.”
The two were always close. In April, she wished him a happy 83rd birthday. “A very happy birthday to my father Paul Sorvino,” she wrote on Twitter alongside a black and white image of herself and her father.
‘I miss you so much and hope to be together again soon!’ added the Barcelona star.
