Dancing With The Stars Season 21 cast rumors have floated the name of Caitlyn Jenner despite denials from the transgender advocate's camp.

Now, another show insider, DWTS Season 19 champion Alfonso Ribeiro, has added his voice to the rumor mill by flat out denying the possibility of Jenner's inclusion in the upcoming season.

"I don't think that's going to happen," Ribeiro revealed to E!Online. The dance champ also affirmed Jenner's earlier disinterest in doing the show.

Earlier reports from Entertainment Tonight quote Jenner's publicist saying, "There is not nor have there ever been any negotiations on this matter." "They inquired if she was interested in participating in the show and I said, 'No, thank you.' That is the extent of the communication."

DWTS dancers have been reported to welcome the inclusion of Jenner in the new season cast. Show champ Cheryl Burke told ET, "Caitlyn and Tony Dovolani would look great together." Burke also shared her view of Jenner possibly fitting in with Val Chmerkovskiy who was dance partner to Season 20 winner Rumer Willis.

The "I Am Cait" star's former television family members, Kim and Rob Kardashian, were also on previous DWTS seasons.

DWTS producer Deena Katz is apparently also not letting go of hopes that Jenner would dance on the reality television dance show. At a network party Katz told Glamour, "I love Caitlyn Jenner, and at some point I would love her on our show." Katz also revealed the celebrity cast was nearly final but would not reveal specifics of the cast make up.

Executive Producer Rob Wade did however let on, "...it's a really good cast. I don't want to jinx this, but there's a couple people in there that I was like, 'Wow, we got them.' And then you meet them and you're like, 'Yeah. Oh yeah. ' I'm excited, but I'm not jinxing it! "

ABC will officially announce the official line-up of cast this coming September 2 on Good Morning America. Dancing with The Stars Season 21 will return to television on September 14.
