The brunette beauty will be reunited with her original dance partner Aric Yegudkin.
Ada will also be joined by a several contenders from past seasons in the epic all stars outing.

Some suggested stars include past winners Bec Hewitt and Grant Denyer.
Possible appearances from former contestants such as Chris Hemsworth, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Nikki Webster and Pauline Hanson could be on the slate, too.
Daryl Sommers, 69, who hosted the show between 2004 and 2007 alongside Sonia Kruger, 55, is also reportedly returning to the show.

In October, Channel 10 confirmed that Dancing with the Stars will not be returning in 2021.
Dancing with the Stars originally aired from 2004 to 2015 on Channel Seven, before moving to Channel 10 in 2019 with new hosts Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller.
While it wasn’t a ratings flop for 10 – its 2020 finale was watched by a respectable 635,000 viewers.
However the numbers didn’t justify the budget required to produce a weekly live broadcast complete with celebrity salaries.
TV Blackbox reported this week that Channel Seven bough the rights to air the show in 2021.
