Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Angellica fancies herself as quite the dancer and may well be the latest member of The One Show team to find herself on Strictly.”
If Angellica does join this year’s Strictly line-up, she’ll have some big dancing shoes to fill.
The One Show stalwart Alex just missed out on a place in the final when she was partnered with James Jordan in 2011.
Alex’s co-host for nine years, Matt Baker became a Strictly runner-up in series eight with Aliona Vilani.

“Although live music from acts is still being considered, it’s unlikely to include any big international stars and could be filmed away from the studio because of safety concerns.

“Given the current restrictions, it’s a planning nightmare.”
Fans of the infamous Dave Arch will be pleased to know it’s likely he’ll be returning to the show.
“Dave Arch and his band will be returning to the show but their roles will be modified to ensure they can perform safely.
“Rehearsals will start next month for them but it’s still not known what shape their input will take.”
“Everyone is hoping they will be able to play live in the studio. But as with everything, it’s totally up in the air,” the source told The Sun.
