The actress, who plays Stacey Slater in EastEnders, is currently on a temporary break from the BBC soap to spend time with her family.
A source told the publication: “Strictly bosses are delighted to snap Lacey up for the series, especially as she has such a huge fan base from her time on the soap."
“She has loved having some quality time off screen to focus on parenting, but feels like now is the perfect time to learn to dance and try something different before she reprises her role in EastEnders.”
Radio Times has contacted the BBC for comment.
She said in 2017: “I have been asked to go on Strictly but I’m rubbish at dancing and I don’t really have the guts.
Although the contestant line-up is yet to be revealed for the 24th season of Strictly, the new instalment is starting to take shape, with Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe confirmed to be replacing Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman as hosts.
