He told The Sun: ‘My agent is talking to all the reality shows and there’s definitely been a little bit of a rumble that I felt from some of them.

‘We’ve spoken to Strictly and nothing’s happened yet, but talks are very much happening.

‘Obviously, Strictly is the one that is gold standard. And also, I love dancing — and now I’m fitter. I’d like nothing better than the training as well to put me through my paces.’

Craig joined the Channel 4 property show in 2022, having made a name for himself as This Morning’s gadget guru and on shopping channel QVC.

The TV star was warned by doctors he was at risk of Type 2 diabetes and after cutting back on sweets, sugar and booze and began to exercise six times a week he dropped an impressive 2st. 

It comes after Stacey Solomon and Miranda Hart were also rumoured to be signing up to the 2025 Strictly series.   

Earlier this month a couple on A Place In The Sun demanded ‘a champagne house with a lemonade budget’ – leaving host Craig exasperated. 

Last weeks instalment of the Channel 4 property show saw married couple, Jane and James, ask Craig to help find them a holiday home in Crete. 

The pair enjoyed their honeymoon on the Greek Island 24 years ago and since retiring, downsized in the UK to purchase an abode abroad. 

James, a semi-retired builder, and Jane, a retired dancer, had a budget of £125,000 with wiggle room of £5,000.

Discussing their property dreams, the couple joked, ‘We want a champagne house with a lemonade budget.’

Craig laughed and Jane clarified they were hoping for ‘two bedrooms, two bathrooms, somewhere quite quiet, fishing village something like that by the sea’.

However, as the episode went on, the couple failed to be won over by any of the properties Craig presented to them.

In the end, they did increase their budget by £30,000, giving Craig the chance to show them another possibility but they still weren’t impressed.

Sitting down the the Channel 4 star, James and Jane confessed that they had realised they needed to rethink their options.

Jane sheepishly admitted: ‘We got ourselves a bit confused.’

She added: ‘What we thought we wanted, when it came to it, maybe it wasn’t that at all. Maybe we want something different.’ 

James commented: ‘We like quirky, we like different, but I think as a holiday home we don’t want to come out here and do a lot of maintenance work, we want to come out here and enjoy it.’ 

The couple revealed they feel they have ‘more of an idea’ what they would be looking for and will still try and find a property in the area.

They thanked Craig, who wished them the best, ‘I appreciate of course you’ve learnt a lot from the journey,’ he said.
