Melissa Joan Hart speaks about Chaz Bono being a transgender DWTS contestant

The star herself was on the show in a previous season and, while promoting the new season of her show Melissa & Joey, she spoke about Bono taking part.

According to OK!, she told reporters: 'I don't even think that's relevant. You've had elderly people, you have teenagers, dancers, people who have never been in front of a camera, and you've had a woman with one leg.

'I mean, you have a lot of challenges there. I don't think being transgendered is really a challenge. He is a notable person, and an icon's son, or daughter, or whatever, and I think that's going to draw a lot of attention.

'He wrote a book, people follow him on Twitter, it's like, the people who are on that show are fascinating and they have a large draw.'
