Carl Radke threw his support behind Ciara Miller ahead of her debut on Dancing With the Stars and predicted that his Summer House castmate could win the Mirrorball Trophy.
Radke said Miller had the talent, work ethic and confidence to make a strong run on DWTS Season 35 with professional partner Brandon Armstrong.

Radke discussed Miller’s casting while celebrating the first anniversary of his Brooklyn non-alcoholic bar, Soft Bar, on September 3.
“I think she’s going to win. I’m going to manifest it, put the energy out there,” Radke said.
He believed Miller already had several qualities that could help her succeed in the competition.
“First of all, she’s a good dancer. She’s got such a fun vibe on the dance floor,” he explained. “Secondly, she works really hard when she puts her mind to something.”
Radke also felt that Miller entered Dancing With the Stars at the right point in her career.
“I think she’s in the best place she has been in her career — just where she’s at, what she’s doing, the confidence level,” he said.
The Summer House cast did not receive advance confirmation about Miller’s casting. Radke said he had heard rumors, but the group ultimately learned the news online.
“Then it was in the group chat, and then we were freaking out,” he recalled. “Everyone is just so happy for her.”
Radke and several other Summer House stars also planned to support Miller in person.
He said Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke and Mia Calabrese were among the cast members considering trips to Los Angeles to watch her perform. Their schedules could prevent them from attending together, but Radke said they all wanted to cheer her on.
He also joked about doing everything possible to boost Miller’s vote total.
“I’m going to get a burner phone times three,” Radke said before encouraging viewers to vote for her.
Miller is partnered with Armstrong for DWTS Season 35 and has shared videos from their preparations on social media.
ABC and Disney+ will premiere the season over two nights on September 15 and 16.
