The One Dancing With The Stars Contestant That Derek Hough Has His Eye On

During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Derek Hough admitted that there is plenty of star power and talent during Season 30 of "Dancing With The Stars." Although the season is currently in the early stages, Hough has seen some impressive moves on the dance floor, and he's naming the contestants that he believes may go far in the competition. "You think you know, but until the first night, you don't really know. There's going to be some dark horses in there," Hough said, admitting that there is one contestant in particular that he'll have his eye on. "Obviously Mel C. I grew up in the U.K. for 10 years, so she's British royalty," he admitted.

Hough went on to reveal that many other members of the Season 30 cast are also expected to do well. "You got Cody Rigsby, who's a fan favorite even though I didn't know who he was when I first heard him, but I think he's going to be loved. Just so many different people, JoJo Siwa, Suni Lee. It's going to be great," he continued. "What I hear is that the rehearsals are going great. There's some really good dancers in the mix so that makes for a really competitive and exciting season, so I'm really looking forward to it," he added.

"Dancing With The Stars" is currently airing Monday nights on ABC, so fans can tune in to see if Hough's picks make it to the finals.
