Grace, 24, would join blind TV presenter Chris McCausland and Bank of Dave star David Fishwick on the line up later this year.
A source said: “Grace has had two meetings with Strictly about appearing on the show.
“She has a huge following on social media and bosses think she would be perfect for the younger audience they try and draw in.
“Grace knows this is an opportunity to become more of a household name, even though she is already hugely popular online.


“She is super keen to get on board.”
Grace, who studied film at Nottingham Trent University, became an overnight sensation during lockdown when she started a TikTok and YouTube channel.
She has more than 4.5million followers across her social media channels and hosts a podcast, Saving Grace, which has featured guests including Lioness Ella Toone and TV presenters Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder.
Bosses on I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here! are also believed to have wanted Grace — but she chose the dance show after seeing the backlash her close friend Nella Rose received in the jungle last year.
A source said: “Ultimately she felt Strictly was a safer bet.”
Strictly bosses would not comment.
