Michelle Keegan is being lined up for the new series of \'Strictly Come Dancing\'.
The 32-year-old actress - who is married to fellow TV star Mark Wright - reportedly tops the most-wanted list of the bosses of the BBC show.
A source told The Sun Online: "Michelle ticks all the boxes. She\'s glamorous, hugely popular and loves the show too. Producers are desperate to try and sign her up.

"They know that getting her to agree would be a massive coup and are hoping she will do it."
Michelle has already finished filming the BBC drama series \'Our Girl\' and, at present, she is thought to be between projects.
The insider added: "In terms of timing this is a great moment for Michelle to do it.
"She\'s been spending the last few weeks self-isolating at home with Mark so when things can go back to normal, she will be looking to throw herself into new challenges. They don\'t come much bigger than \'Strictly\'.
"She\'s always enjoyed the show and was wanted when she was on \'Corrie\'. But it was always very tricky to get over the line because of the BBC and ITV rivalry."
Despite this, Mark previously suggested Michelle would feel too nervous to appear on \'Strictly\'.
The 33-year-old star - who appeared on the 12th series of the programme - said: "Never say never, but I just think her nerves are another level.
"I do [get nervous], but I\'m a bit more like \'come on let\'s have it\'. But whenever she watches me she\'s like, \'I don\'t know how you do it.\'"
