On Wednesday she debuted her show Danielle with the Stars: Danielle Fishel with iHeartPodcasts.

Danielle said she always wanted to be on DWTS and has been asked to be on a couple of times, but it was only this year that she finally said yes.

She also said they were asked to arrive at rehearsals disguised; she says she’s shown up every day in a different character mask including a Hulk mask, an Iron Man mask, a Black Panther mask, and a Spiderman mask.

Her partner is a perfect personality fit and they get along really well; she says both she and her dance partner are both perfectionists.

Danielle says Val went up to her and asked if it was inappropriate to tell her he loved her

She also talked about meeting Dylan Efron and says it’s her dream to have the both of them in the finals and wants to form an alliance with him and his partner.

Fishel’s first guest will be her newly announced dance partner, Pasha Pashkov, which will air Friday, September 5.
