Teresa Giudice Fit For ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Teresa Giudice stole the spotlight at the June 2018 NPC South Jersey Bodybuilding Championships — and now producers for "Dancing With the Stars" are desperate to sign up the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" jailbird!

As earlier reported by The National ENQUIRER's own Rob Shuter, Teresa was the only "Housewives" star that had a real chance for making it on recent seasons of "Dancing With the Stars." An insider said that network brass believed that “they’ve had all the good ['Housewives'] already on the show.”

Teresa, however, was considered a hot prospect after being released from prison. That was before things “didn't work out” for the ambitious diva when Season 26 went with an all-athletes format. But now insiders say the very athletic Teresa has producers courting her hard body!

"The producers are determined to bring in major stars for Season 28," said an insider, "and were ignoring reality-show contestants — but that's all changed now. She's suddenly at the top of their list. Teresa may even try to rush out a new book and reality show to capitalize on becoming an exercise guru!"

It's a big comeback for Teresa after enduring an embarrassing stint in prison, with her husband Joe Giudice still behind bars for his own part in a scheme involving wire and bankruptcy fraud.

Teresa didn't even let her social media followers know that she was planning to make her competitive debut. Instead, the 46-year-old beauty shocked her fans while scoring a third place ranking out of seven competitors in the Over 40 division!
