Season 19 Rumor: Pretty Little Liar’s Janel Parrish To Dance on Dancing With The Stars?
Two days ago, Janel Parrish tweeted she was on her way to a “fun new experience” (sceencap below). She also was at photo shoot yesterday on the same day as the Dancing With The Stars promo shoots (instagram below). What’s more, one of the people on Afterbuzz TV last night (video below) mentions how he heard one of the cast members from “Pretty Little Liars” will be on the new season of Dancing With The Stars. The panel thinks it’s Janel Parrish since her character was just killed off during last night’s show …and for what she tweeted and being she’s an ABC star too. They start talking on it at the 3:50 mark. Not sure what’s up, but, hey you never know? What if Janel Parrish is dancing and who do you see as her Pro if true? Thanks to fan Kelly A for bringing this possible rumor to our attention.
Well i guessed we would have a pll female at some point lol i thought it may be vals perfect partner shay mitchell tho seeing as he seemed to be over the moon the other day lol
I actually had the thought this morning that I could see her doing it. It seems to make perfect sense, though I don’t want to assume anything. The problem with one of the main characters doing the show (like Shay, Val’s “perfect partner”) is that I don’t see how they could have the time to do both. PLL shoots during the DWTS season and the main 4 females are in most scenes.
As for her partner…well she is on the shorter side so I automatically assume Mark is her partner. We’ll see though!
Not a fan of her show at all, but she seems really pretty and just like a nice and sweet girl. I’ll say YES to her being on! I can see her paired up with either Val or Mark (hopefully the latter).
Hmmm…if she tweeted on Monday about her “first day” then maybe Mark isn’t her partner since he was in Houston. Val maybe then??? He did tweet later that day about being grateful.
Someone on twitter said they “knew” a PLL cast member was on this season. (Didn’t think much of it since A LOT of people claim to know stuff lol).
So interesting! She and S17’s Brant Daugherty (another PLL alum) are BFF!
Just like the rumored celeb Meagan Tandy… I have no idea who this person is.
Meagan Tandy tweeted Sasha Farber was a friend and dots rumor not true. Janel is from a very popular teen show, yes, and twitter voting will be a definite “win” for her, but the youngsters don’t seem to do the power voting thing well online, so Val/Maks fans will tutor them or step it up if she is with Val. He couldn’t win with Zendaya and I feel Zendaya is more popular. But many didn’t care for her attitude and she was up against lovable/humble Kellie. It will depend on Janel’s personality too.
dots should be dwts
She seems perfect for Val. Saying that, I kinda feel like unless she is really good or is fun to watch, she will be out early.
PLL is my favorite show, so I hope shes on. I was searching to see if she has a dance background and in her bio at abc family it says “While studying acting, she continued to train vocally, eventually adding piano and dance to her repertoire.” So it looks like shes had some dance training, how much, what style, dont know.
As for her partner I think Keo and Tony would be to tall. Mark was in Houston on Monday like someone said. I think she will get Val or Artem.
Someone tweeted who knows her pretty well and said that ‘ She can really Move’ !
Val sounded very happy and I’m guessing she’s really good dancer!
When doesn’t Val get a good dancer?
[…] headed to Dancing With The Stars for Season 19. They are also reporting that Janel Parrish (who we reported about earlier) is dancing as well. […]
Janel is a great singer and dancer, she was in the Bratz movie. Also Lucy Hale just tweeted about Janel joining DWTS so I guess it’s true. I’m excited for her! I guess she’s Val’s partner.
Why not with Derek? I actually think that they would look great together 🙂
If they paired her up with Derek (who I am starting to think has Andi the Bachelorette….that should be fun…ish) I could only imagine what would happen. Giving her to Val would just continue his streak of good partners.
@vin – What makes you think that Derek has Andi Dorfman? I hope she is not on this season I didn’t like her at all on the Bach/ette series.
Hopefully, no one has Andi Dorfman.
@Sandy: In the other post, someone said that she is following Julieanne and Derek on twitter. Add that to the fact that she has been rumored for awhile. She probably as Derek.
has*
@vin – I think it was Sarah (from Bachelor in paradise) who recently started following Derek and Jules.
I actually really liked Andi and would love to watch her and Josh on dwts, but I don’t think it’s happening. She did start following Cheryl on twitter, but they probably met when Cheryl was co-hosting on Extra.
Would put Janel with Derek as well, since she’s a hot and youngish Hollywood chick with a big tween following. It wouldn’t be as difficult and challenging as season 18 and Derek wouldn’t have to work as hard with everything he has going on. Lolo Jones sounds Interesting – since she’s also very polarizing, she would be a right up TPTB’s alley.
#Deena – Deja vu – Hawaii born singer, actor 🙂
I think that would be too easy for him..
If she does go on the show, I’ll be rooting for her.
Does anyone else think Janel Parrisb looks like the girl Derek was pictured with at the Emmy’s (or at the Emmy’s HBO After Party?) Whoever she is, she can also be seen dancing with Derek in the same video where he dances with Sofia Vergara. I didn’t know who Janel Parrish was until today but her picture looks very much like the girl in the video and in the still pics at Getty Images.
She’s definitely a good dancer. If she was with Derek, maybe she’s his new partner? Just speculating of course.
Amy..yes! I wondered on the same exact thing!!
It looks exactly like her to me. I’ve watched the video again and looked at several pics at Getty. I’m pretty sure it’s Janel. I checked a YT video in which she says she hula dances. She has beautiful hands and a very good singing voice and has been in some musical productions. Sounds like she might make a good dance partner!
I love speculating.
The brunette dancing with Derek at the HBO party is not Janel.
Thanks, Veronika. The close up pictures at Getty Images look a lot like JP but I trust anyone’s eyes over my own. I’m not familiar with the YH crowd.

I agree with Amy. I’ve seen all the footage she’s speaking of and the getty pics and it looks just like her.
Janel has several small tattoos (under her right elbow, inner part of left arm, both insteps) and she doesn’t cover them with make-up for this kind of events. If you check the getty pics, the girl has no tattoos. JP has also darker hair than the girl with Derek. Lastly, I think she is a big enough name to be tagged in the pictures. Can you say I’m a PLL fan 😉 ?
I could be totally wrong, it is 2:30 am where I live, but I really see two different girls.
Veronika, you could be right, but, they sure look alike imo.
@Voguerista & Amy, Janel Parrish and that girl Derek was dancing with have completely different noses. Janel’s of half Chinese descent and has Asian features. Their only similarities are that they’re petite and brunette.
@23 Deena, except Derek likes working hard and being challenged. She could be too easy for him. Though if we’re going by type: I think the type of partner Derek usually gets can vaguely be described as “hot 30-something with modest fanbase.”
I won’t act like I know the extent of her dance experience, but Janel grew up as a theatre kid. She’s a singer too, so she’s bound to have some musicality.
Going by height, I could see her paired with Val, Derek, or Artem. She’s short enough for Mark, but I’m guessing if the rumours are true Kacy Catanzaro would be paired with him because that girl is even shorter.
#Amy & # Voguerista
I’ve watched the afterbuzz of Pretty Little Liars – and it looks to me that the girl Derek was dancing with is Emma K.. for some reason…
