Jilted by Jason Mesnick on the season finale of “The Bachelor,” Melissa Rycroft will rebound nicely — on “Dancing With the Stars,” PEOPLE has learned.
Rycroft, 25, is to fill the slot vacated by Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell, who had to withdraw from the competition on March 5 due to a knee injury. According to a source close to the production, the Dallas beauty, who has had only days to rehearse, is expected to perform live on “Dancing’s” Monday premiere.
