Natalie, 50, and Delta, 40, are in negotiations with Strictly execs who want to announce the line-up for the BBC1 show over the coming week.

A TV insider said: “Talks are at a point where things could go in a number of different directions but if both celebrities signed up then that would be seen as quite a coup for the show.

“Delta and Natalie would bring some glamour to the programme, and be some of this year’s most eagerly anticipated competitors.

“If all three former Neighbours stars end up performing, the Strictly dance floor will end up looking more like Ramsay Street.

“But the next 24 hours of discussions between execs and the stars’ reps are critical.”

Delta made her name on Neighbours, playing Nina Tucker from 2002 to 2004, with a break when she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

She enjoyed a global hit with the track, Born to Try.

Delta was previously engaged to Westlife’s Brian McFadden and two months ago married musician Matthew Copley.

Meanwhile, Natalie started as Beth Brennan on the soap in 1992 when she was just 16.

Her character had a long-standing relationship with Brad Willis, which ended in the pair getting married.

Natalie left after five years and went on to release best-selling track Torn in 1997.

The mum-of-one, now a British citizen, married singer Daniel Johns in 2003, divorcing five years later.

Other stars in the running for Strictly this year include Dani Dyer, EastEnder Balvinder Sopal, Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison and rugby star Chris Robshaw.

A spokesman for Strictly said: “We don’t comment on speculation.”
