( CNN ) -- `` Dancing With the Stars '' has announced its new lineup of competitors , and at least two of them already know how to go for the gold . On `` Good Morning America '' on Tuesday , the ABC dancing competition revealed that Olympic champs Meryl Davis and Charlie White , who just won a historic gold medal at the Winter Olympics in figure skating ice dance , are joining `` DWTS ' '' 18th season . Instead of competing as a team the way they did at the Sochi Olympics , Davis and White are now up against one another . Davis will partner with returning `` DWTS '' pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy , who left the show in 2012 to pursue other opportunities . White has been set up with pro dancer Sharna Burgess . Here are the other stars Davis and White will face off against : . Candace Cameron Bure : The former `` Full House '' actress was rumored to be a potential `` star '' on this season of `` DWTS , '' and Tuesday 's announcement confirmed the gossip . Cameron Bure , who recently released a book called `` Balancing It All : My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose , '' will be paired with pro dancer Mark Ballas . NeNe Leakes : As with Cameron Bure , there was speculation that `` Real Housewives of Atlanta 's '' NeNe Leakes was going to grace ABC 's ballroom . Leakes , who 's also branched out into acting on shows like `` Glee , '' is partnering with Tony Dovolani . Danica McKellar : Cameron Bure is n't the only child star on season 18 's roster . Former `` The Wonder Years '' actress Danica McKellar is also going to perform each week , with help from pro partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy . McKellar 's also created a career as an author , but she still acts here and there and has appeared on `` How I Met Your Mother '' and `` The Big Bang Theory . '' Diana Nyad : We 've already seen Diana Nyad 's persistence in the water , and we can only imagine how it 'll carry her in this season 's competition . The 64-year-old became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage last fall , and will now bring that persistence to the ballroom with pro partner Henry Byalikov . Drew Carey : Stand-up comic and `` The Price Is Right '' host Drew Carey is more accustomed to making audiences laugh at his wit than dazzling them with his dance moves , but he 'll show what he 's got alongside pro partner Cheryl Burke this season . James Maslow : A member of the band Big Time Rush , James Maslow is one of two pop stars participating in this year 's `` DWTS . '' The 23-year-old 's pairing off with Peta Murgatroyd . Cody Simpson : At 17 , singer Cody Simpson is the youngest competitor in this season 's lineup . The `` Pretty Brown Eyes '' crooner is going to pair off with new pro dancer Witney Carson .

The double amputee has become a top-ranked snowboarder and Paralympic athlete after losing her legs to meningitis at 19 . In this season 's `` DWTS , '' she 's going to perform with pro partner Derek Hough . Sean Avery : As a former pro hockey player , Sean Avery is trading in the ice for a dance floor . The athlete/model will dance with pro partner Karina Smirnoff . Billy Dee Williams : This Hollywood legend is already considering being `` DWTS '' ' secret sauce . At 76 , the wide-ranging talent will partner up with pro dancer Emma Slater . These 12 are n't the only new faces this season .
