How we know her: CBS' The King of Queens, former co-host of The Talk.
Dance experience: "None and zero. I try to follow my husband when he's dancing salsa and I look down to keep time and hold on for dear life. That's about it."
What hurts: "My feet and my back. I have 15,000 blisters. I have black and blue areas and I don't know why. When I come home, my family gives me the face of sympathy and I crawl up the stairs to take a bath for three hours. I probably own stock in Epsom salts now."
Secret weapon: Jennifer Lopez has watched her dance, but Remini insists she only got tips from Lopez's 5-year-old, Max. "He gave me some points. Max kept saying, 'You're doing it wrong. Get back on the stage.' "
Why now? Remini insists she has turned the show down three or four times. But a high-profile break with the Church of Scientology was one motivator. "Considering what I have been through this year, I am really at a vulnerable place in my life. But I want to come from a place of strength. That's why I want to do it. I want to come out and celebrate my life and that I am doing something scary and new. And it's fun."
Weight-loss bonus: "I am losing weight. I don't weigh myself because I don't need to be depressed every day. So I go to the jeans. Everyone has their fat jeans, their medium-fat and their fighting-weight jeans. I'm in my medium-fat jeans now."
Goals: "I'm not going to hate on a sequin-bejeweled ball, because that is my time -- disco. It's not that I don't want the ball. But I am excited to just be there."
Leah had been friends with Marc for as long as the fans could remember. Not sure how THEY met though maybe through Leah's husband? He's also a Salsa singer.
Anyway, Jen then got introduced after she married Marc, and they remained besties ever since.
