Holly Willoughby teases potential reality show stint and fans are loving it

After 10 years on This Morning , Holly Willoughby is completely synonymous with daytime TV.

But with her latest confession, we could see the 38-year-old heading for Saturday night primetime.

ITV star Holly has teased about having her eyes on a rather glittery prize.

Speaking on Wednesday's show, the mum-of-three teased that she would consider taking part in BBC hit Strictly Come Dancing.

Holly and co-host Phillip Schofield were interviewing Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice when the top of Holly's dancing ability cropped up.

Strictly's Giovanni was on the show which prompted the chat (ITV)

The duo asked Giovanni who would make the perfect celebrity partner and whilst the dancer struggled to pick out a name, Schofe was quick to offer Holly as his suggestion.

She said that everyone 'in here ear' was prompting Giovanni to say her name, asking her: "Are you waiting for him to say you?" to which she quickly said: "Yes!"

Phil was very encouraging of his co-star (ITV)

This prompted Giovanni to respond: "I keep telling you you have to do the show."

"I know," Holly replied before adding: "You know I love the show, I'm a massive fan."

Phil was quick to support his pal adding she "can dance" and said that Holly would be "great on there".

And it seems fans would also be very keen on the idea.

"Petition for Holly Willoughby to be a contestant on strictly #ThisMorning #StrictlyComeDancing," tweeted one.

Another excitedly added: "Yes yes yes yes!!! @hollywills please do #strictly you would be amazing! It would be an absolute dream to see you on the show! Practically perfect in every way! @thismorning #ThisMorning."

"I don't think I would be able to get my head around it if Holly ever does #Strictly. I would seriously lose my s**t big time," a fan said.

"#Strictly needs you. You'd be brilliant," added another.
