Tiger King's Carole Baskin has revealed her first Dancing With The Stars appearance will see her showing off her best moves to "Eye Of The Tiger".

The big cat lover will appear on the program alongside other celebrity contestants including rapper Nelly, Catfish host Nev Schulman and Selling Sunset real estate agent Chrishell Stause.


The show kicks off on TV on Monday, and Baskin has revealed her first dance will be to Survivor's 1982 hit "Eye Of The Tiger", which featured on the Rocky III soundtrack.

“We are doing 'Eye Of The Tiger', I'm so excited about that," she told E! News.

Baskin, 59, also outlined her requests for the show's famously over-the-top outfits.

“I told the costume department, 'No fur, no feathers, no leather,'" she said. “'But anything else, I don't care how wild.' I just said to have a blast. I can't wait to find out what they come up with."

Animal rights activist Baskin is the CEO of Big Cat Rescue and rocketed to fame earlier this year following the massive success of Netflix's wild drama series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem And Madness.

The series chronicled Baskin's feud with eccentric zoo owner Joe Exotic, whom she accused of animal abuse.

Exotic, who became an unlikely hero among Tiger King viewers, is serving 22 years in prison for his role in a murder-for-hire plot.
