Danny, 36, appeared in the dance show’s Christmas special last year and impressed with his footwork.
The retired player is due to fly in from the US — where he is now based — to discuss the project. A source said: “Danny proved he had the moves in the one-off special and Strictly would love to have him back.
“It was an experience he enjoyed and Danny’s family and friends have been pushing him to say yes.
“Danny’s got Bear Hunt on Netflix out next year so he’s free and able to take part. He’s coming back to the UK for a face-to-face meeting.”

In last year’s special, Danny danced the Cha-Cha with professional Jowita Przystal and scored an impressive 37 out of 40 — including one perfect ten.
At the time he said: “I enjoy the way that I move to the beat of the music. It makes me feel good.”
Danny — who played rugby for clubs including Wasps and Sale Sharks — has been living in the States with his girlfriend, actress AnnaLynne McCord, 36, since his split from wife Victoria Rose in November last year.
A BBC spokeswoman told The Sun: “We don’t comment on speculation.”
