It has been reported that Giedroyc, who was once co-host on The Great British Bake Off, is being "eyed" by Strictly bosses to take over Winkleman's duties on the flagship programme.
"Mel is seen as a great swap for Claudia as they're both smart, funny, and have a reputation within the TV world for being easy to work with," a source told The Sun.
Over the weekend, it was reported that Emma Willis and Zoe Ball were in final talks to take over from Tess Daly, with The Sun claiming that "only one will get it, not both".
A source told the publication: "The senior execs want a traditional presenter working alongside a more left-field person, a female stand-up comedian. It's felt the humour Claudia brought to the show, particularly in her 'Claudatorium', needs to be carry on."
In a statement shared on Instagram, the duo wrote: "We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream.
"We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show. They’re the most brilliant team and we’ll miss them every day.
