E! News and "Fashion Police" co-host Giuliana Rancic was approached to compete in the upcoming 14th season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," but has joined Tim Tebow, Herman Cain and Dolly Parton in turning the show down, she says.

Rancic, who underwent a double mastectomy in December, tells E! Online her busy schedule precludes her from going dancing on the reality show this season, but she doesn't rule out "DWTS" forever.

"I've been a big fan of the show for years," Rancic said. "But sadly, my schedule at the moment would never allow for the grueling rehearsal commitment. Who knows, maybe Bill (Rancic, her husband) and I can be on the show together one day and go toe-to-toe for the trophy."

Bill Rancic is also a reality TV veteran, winning the first season of Donald Trump's "Apprentice." He also stars with Giuliana Rancic in the Style network series "Giuliana and Bill," and co-hosts "America Now" with Leeza Gibbons.

Meanwhile, "DWTS" fans will not have to wait much longer to find out who will be in the cast for season 14. Robin Roberts will announce the names of the celebs and their professional partners on Tuesday's "Good Morning America."

Season 14 of "DWTS" premieres on ABC on March 19.
