Emmerdale and Waterloo Road actor Adam Thomas appears set to sign up for the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Thomas rose to fame as Adam Barton on Emmerdale and came third in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2016.
He currently plays Donte Charles on BBC series Waterloo Road.
Thomas is part of a trio of famous brothers.
Ryan Thomas is known for his role as Jason Grimshaw on Coronation Street while his other brother Scott appeared on Love Island back in 2016 where he came third with Kady McDermott who has returned to the popular reality dating show this year.
With Strictly Come Dancing just months away from returning to our screens, rumours have begun circulating about which celebrities will join the show as dancers in 2023.

Speaking to The Sun, a TV insider said: "After two decades on screen and, as one of the Thomas brothers, he instantly brings a huge fanbase. That’s what Strictly bosses love.
“Producers also see him as someone who can fill the young hunk role, which is important and often sees them pick soap stars.”
The BBC was contacted but said they were unable to provide a comment on the subject.
Thomas has previously joked about appearing on Strictly, saying he wants to experience the "Strictly curse".
He said: “Bring it all on. I love a bit of glitz and glam.
"I just want to experience the Strictly curse.”
The Strictly "curse" is the apparent threat appearing on the show can have on your relationship.
According to The Sun over the course of 20 series of the show, around a dozen couples have split up due to their time on Strictly.
Thomas is married to Caroline Daly.
When is Strictly Come Dancing coming back?
While an exact date is yet to be set, the BBC confirmed earlier this year that Strictly Come Dancing will be back in autumn 2023 for its 21st season.
The professional dancers are already locked in as are the judges and presenters of the show.
Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back in the ballroom overseeing proceedings each weekend.
Meanwhile, behind the judges' desk once again will be Craig Revel Horwood, Let’s Dance Germany judge Motsi Mabuse, NTA Award-winning judge Anton Du Beke and The Queen of Latin Shirley Ballas who will return as head judge.
