Anna Sorokin, convicted con artist, appears on "Dancing With the Stars" wearing glittery ankle monitor

Los Angeles — Convicted con artist Anna Sorokin has hit the dancefloor on "Dancing With the Stars" with a featherweight - and very sparkly - ankle monitor.

The so-called "fake heiress," who was convicted of swindling banks, hotels and friends in 2019 after falsely building a reputation as a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey, debuted the ballroom-worthy ankle monitor during the premiere of "Dancing With the Stars'" new season Tuesday night.

"It's actually not a big issue at all. It's pretty light and I asked them to make it tight so it doesn't dangle. So it's not so bad," she told The Associated Press after the premiere. She and dance pro Ezra Sosa performed a routine set to Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso."
