Don't expect to see JoJo Fletcher on the dance floor.

Season 30 of Dancing with the Stars begins next month, and fans are speculating about which celebrities will compete for the Mirrorball Trophy. Fletcher — who got engaged to Jordan Rodgers during her season of The Bachelorette in 2016 — clarified on her Instagram Story that she will not be competing this year in response to fan's question on the matter.

"Lol Everyone DMing me this!" she began. "I'm not, but funny story- I was supposed to do @DancingABC after my season of Bachelorette but ended up not being able to bc of my contract. Womp womp."

"Not sure America could have handled my super sweet dance moves anyways," she wrote, adding laughing emojis.

Reps for ABC did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Fletcher, 30, isn't the only former Bachelorette to reveal she wouldn't appear on the dancing competition due to her contract with the ABC dating series. Kaitlyn Bristowe has long said that Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss blocked her from joining the hit ABC dance competition series when she was approached after her season of The Bachelorette in 2015. Bristowe, 36, later competed on the show and won season 29.

There will, however, be another JoJo on this year's DWTS roster. Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa, 18, is confirmed to compete, and will become the first contestant to have a same-sex pro dance partner. Olympic gymnast Suni Lee will also appear on the show.
