Handling eight kids day after day apparently isn't the biggest challenge that Kate Gosselin has had to face. The
Jon and Kate Plus 8 matriarch supposedly has quite a fear of the dance floor, and going on the reality competition
Dancing with the Stars is her way of overcoming her anxieties.
Read: Kate Gosselin Gets Special Mom Treatment on Dancing with the Stars"I am all about new challenges, facing my fears - this is like the hugest fear ever because I have never ever danced in my life," Kate Gosselin told
Entertainment Tonight. She recently made a red carpet appearance for the New York premiere of
Life, the new documentary series from the Discovery Channel. While there, she couldn't help but talk about her latest TV gig.
Joining her during the event is her
Dancing with the Stars partner Tony Dovolani, who she couldn't help but admire. The two continued to exchange compliments as they faced the press. Hopefully they really do have something praise-worthy to show once they're on stage for the competition.
Kate Gosselin said of her dance floor colleague: "He's a great teacher, because this is not analytical thinking, this is not books, this is not schedule planning, this is like all that other art stuff and he's very good at explaining what I need to do."
But it looks as though
Dancing with the Stars staple Tony Dovolani thought highly of the
Jon and Kate Plus 8 star as well. Seeing Gosselin take on task after task constantly amazes him.
"She's just a complete role model as a mom," he exclaimed. "She's the working mom, takes care of the family, comes into rehearsal completely focused, knows how important this is to be a great example to her kids, and that's exactly the attitude that she's taken on."
Things seem to have gotten so much better for Kate Gosselin ever since she was divorced from Jon. But her ex-husband couldn't help but say how proud he was of her
Dancing with the Stars stint.
Vote: Who's Your Dancing with the Stars Pre-Season Favorite?"Congratulations to Kate for joining the new season of DWTS. I am thrilled for her. She has my support and vote," the
Jon and Kate Plus 8 dad wrote on his private Twitter account. Well, at least we know the mother of his children already has someone rooting for her. If he's telling the truth, that is.
