Prince Harry’s Invictus Games just got a dose of ballroom glamour.
On Thursday, Invictus Orlando revealed its two latest celebrity ambassadors exclusively to PEOPLE: Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough and DWTS champion Shawn Johnson.
“These athletes and warriors are shining examples of perseverance and strength,” Hough said in a statement, “and it’s an honor to be able to support them in any way that I can.” Added Olympic gold medalist Johnson: “I am beyond excited!”
Hough and Johnson join Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins – another DWTS alum! – as ambassadors for the Paralympic competition featuring more than 500 competitors from 15 nations.
Prince Harry recently passed the flag for the Games, which will be held May 8-12 in Orlando. The five days of competition, which will unfold at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, include everything from archery to wheelchair basketball to powerlifting and sitting volleyball.
