In an electrifying twist during the ongoing Dancing With the Stars Live Tour 2024, social media sensation Lele Pons stunned fans and fellow cast members as she made a surprise appearance in disguise, only to reveal her true identity in a jaw-dropping moment.
Pons, known for her vivacious online presence and participation in the 32nd season of Dancing With the Stars, orchestrated a playful and unforgettable prank during the Hollywood, Florida stop on the tour. Sporting a fake beard, a nondescript hoodie, and a hat, Pons managed to blend into the crowd seamlessly, catching her former castmates off guard.
In a TikTok video shared by Pons, she can be seen mingling with the cast members, including Too Hot to Handle‘s Harry Jowsey, who appeared visibly shocked by the unexpected encounter.
As the interaction unfolds, Pons dramatically removes her hat to reveal her signature long blonde locks, followed by the reveal of shedding her fake beard, leaving the cast and audience alike in uproarious amazement.
The incident took place amid the ongoing excitement of the Dancing With the Stars Live 2024 tour, which promises fans an exhilarating showcase of dazzling performances by beloved professional dancers and celebrities from the hit television series.
DWTS pro Brandon Armstrong’s wife, Brylee, posted a video to TikTok showcasing herself helping Pons pull off the prank.
The tour, which commenced on Jan. 11th at the Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, is set to conclude on March 26th at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles.
The tour features a star-studded lineup, including fan-favorite professionals Brandon Armstrong, Rylee Arnold, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Gleb Savchenko, Emma Slater and Britt Stewart, as well as select performances by DWTS co-host Julianne Hough.
“Pop in, pop out. Just kind of do a little bit of this,” Hough told ET‘s Denny Directo about joining the tour after a show in October. “It’ll be exciting. I haven’t been on tour since my brother [Derek Hough] and I used to do our tours together, our Move Tours.”
For Hough, hitting the road is a full-circle moment.
“So to be back on the road to go to the city where all the fans are, who have been following Dancing With the Stars from the beginning and my personal career,” she said. “I just want to go and see everybody and connect again. Being back on the show, it’s a family. I got to go on tour. I got to do the whole thing. It’s full circle, you know? That’s where it all started. I started on tour before I was ever on the show.”
Hough teased that each show is going to be something different, so the audience should prepare to be surprised.
“Every time you hit that stage, it’s like you’re doing it for the first time because it’s the first time the audience has seen it,” she told ET. “So there really is nothing like a live audience. I obviously was on Broadway last year, that’s why I moved to New York and so it’s the same thing. It’s like you think you’re doing one show every single night, but it changes because of the crowd.”
