One source said: “It is hard to get the mix right for Strictly every year but producers think that Angela is perfect for it.
“She is really popular with the BBC's viewers but unlike so many celebrities she doesn't have a dancing background so Strictly fans will be able to go on a really enjoyable journey with her.
“Every year the producers like to have a glamourous yet wholesome TV presenter as the fans love them.”
Other celebrities that have been tipped to appear on this year's Strictly are Bobby Brazier, the actor son of the late reality star Jade Goody and Adam Thomas who appears in BBC drama Waterloo Road.
Angela has hosted her own Saturday night chat show for RTE since 2020.
As well as her own RTE chat show, the flame haired beauty also hosts Sunday night show Your House Made Perfect, the mother of two is also a successful podcaster.
She also hosts her own, Thanks A Million.
Angela also recently told of her 15-year struggle with an eating disorder in her autobiography Joyrider, where she revealed her mental health struggles and how she went on to undergo therapy.
She wrote: “I managed to paint a decent picture and life looked good, I got the big entertainment TV job, I had a hair ad, I did all the glossy red-carpet things and I was more miserable than I have ever been in my life.
“I have lived for many years split in two: my outside face beaming and smiling, relentlessly positive; inside in turmoil.”
