Last month, it was rumored that the former press secretary might put on his dancing shoes and appear on 25th season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Sources close to Spicer said that while he was “flattered” to be asked to appear on the show, he had to decline because he will be too busy with an “overwhelming number of commitments in the Fall.”
According to another report, Spicer turned it down after discussing it “with his wife.”
Trump’s former press secretary was one of the most recognizable members of the Trump administration. “Saturday Night Live” even took to mocking several of the his WH briefings with actress Melissa McCarthy playing an unhinged version of him.
