Milano described the show as an 'adventure', pointing to its technical challenges and live performances. He admitted having little formal dance training but claimed a 'good feel for music'. His enthusiasm was clear as he promised to bring 'a lot of heart and ambition' to the competition.
The new lineup also features singer Ross Antony, former Germany’s Next Topmodel contestant Betty Taube, and content creator Willi Whey. Adding to the mix are Ninja Warrior athlete Joel Mattli and Tokio Hotel drummer Gustav Schäfer.
