The 20-year-old gymnast — who recently won a gold medal in Rio — joins Laura Marano, Mark Cuban, Sara Foster, Cole Swindell and former Miss America Sharlene Wells Hawkes as the celebrity judges for the beauty pageant.

“Miss America has been such an amazing event for so many years and I am excited to have the opportunity to judge the competition this year,” Douglas said in a statement Monday.

“The contestants are a great example of strong women across America and I especially look forward to hearing the platforms that each of them will represent!”
