Ciara Miller is trading Hamptons chaos for the ballroom ... 'cause she's officially joined "Dancing with the Stars" ... and the timing couldn't be messier.

And Ciara is not the only reality TV queen joining the cast ... "Love Island" and "The Traitors" star Maura Higgins is also lacing up her dancing shoes.
