A source said: 'Poppy is hugely popular both on TikTok and on Saturday Kitchen - she's really fun and easy to work with, plus bosses can guarantee there will be no scandal around her.
"They've been in talks to get her on the 2025 series.'
Both the BBC and Poppy's agent declined to comment.
If she puts pen to paper, she will join the likes of Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis and EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal on the BBC show.
Poppy's potential move to the dancefloor comes as Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt has been earmarked for a move to MasterChef following John Torode's sacking earlier in the week.
The Australian star, 59, was axed after being hit by an allegation that he used a racist word in 2018 - something he denies doing.
It has been reported that the incident, which came to light in a report into shamed former co-star Gregg Wallace's conduct, saw him use the N-word as he sang along to Kanye West's hit song Gold Digger.
Meanwhile, 'Potato Queen' Poppy, 32, will be hoping her dance moves are as impressive as her recipes.
The Michelin-trained star's rise to the top hasn't been an overnight success. Aged 18, she worked as an apprentice at Purnell's, Birmingham, before heading to London to further her career.
It was in lockdown that she discovered TikTok after losing her job as a junior sous chef.

Her online following gradually increased as more and more people tuned in to her tasty, home-made recipes.
But it was when shared her best potato meals that she shot to the top of the TikTok pile, racking up over 1 million views - and she hasn't looked back since.
It is shaping up to be a huge year for the popular online star.
She recently married partner of 16 years Matt Shattock, showing off her wedding ring on Friday's This Morning on which she was the guest chef.
The couple tied the knot at Redditch Registry Office earlier this month.

Inside Lionesses teammates Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh's ‘romance'
England footballers Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh have had fans in a frenzy both on and off the pitch for a number of years. FC Barcelona defender Lucy, 33, and her midfield teammate, 28, will take on Spain in Sunday's Euro 2025 final. After losing their opening group stage against France, England roared back with wins over the Netherlands and Wales, before being taken to the brink by Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds. It could be an extra sweet victory for the Lionesses after being beaten by Spain in the World Cup two years ago. Lucy became an MBE in 2023 for her services to football, following the Lionesses' victory at Wembley over Germany in the Women's Euros final. Away from the pitch, Lucy was rumoured to be in a relationship with her England and Barcelona teammate Keira. While the pair has never exclusively revealed their relationship status, they have appeared in several personal and intimate pictures together on Instagram. More weight was added to the rumours when they both moved from Manchester City to Barcelona at the same time, during the summer of 2022. Keira began her professional career at Blackburn Rovers, spending six years there as a youth player, before quickly moving to City – the club she supports. They have remained private about their rumoured relationship but have posted pictures of themselves together more and more on Instagram over the last few years. She's appeared in several personal photos with Lucy, including a few sun-soaked beach snaps taken while the two were on holiday in Los Angeles in 2022. Six years ago, they spent some time off in Lyon, where Lucy was playing at the time – she managed 83 appearances in total for the French champions. More Trending However, it has since been speculated that the pair have split and Lucy is now dating Spanish footballer Ona Batlle. They, again, have not publicly spoken about their rumoured relationship, but the pair posted a series of snaps together from a holiday before the tournament. Posting some sun-soaked photos, Lucy captioned the post: 'Few days of sun,' while Ona responded with a heart-eyed face emoji. Keira, meanwhile, has also been rumoured to be dating Austrian midfielder Laura Feiersinger. Got a story?
