And now he is keen to show off his moves on the BBC dance floor.

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.

After doctors warned he was at risk of Type 2 diabetes, he cut back on sweets, sugar and booze and began to exercise six times a week.

Bosses have also reportedly approached TV personality Stacey Solomon, 35, about appearing on Strictly’s next series later this year.
