Strictly winner Caroline Flack has been tipped for role in West End musical Cats
Just 12 hours after the TV presenter was crowned the winner of the dancing show, alongside her partner Pasha Kovalev, her future is being debated.
Caroline, 35, whose background is in TV presenting with the Xtra Factor propelling her to fame, is rumoured to be the next big thing in the West End.
She is being lined up for a leading role in a musical, following in the footsteps on X Factor star Nicole Scherzinger who is currently in Cats.
Speaking to The Mirror, a source told the paper: "She’s made it clear she’d love to do musical theatre.
"So now could be the time she gets to realise that dream. Already theatre companies are sniffing around – they’ve seen her potential."

And it seems the rumours might not be so far fetched as Caroline has previously spoken about auditioning for theatre production Cats, amongst other shows.
Back in 2013, after admitting it took a while for her career to take off, the star revealed she had auditioned for the musical and got down to the last three.
She said: "I wanted to be in Cats. Got down to the last three. And Les Mis, Starlight Express. Never got any of them."
It looks like Caroline is one step closer to her dreams, and she certainly seemed thrilled to be crowned the winner of the show last night.

The TV star lifted the glitterball trophy in pure amazement and gushed: "This is the best thing in the whole world.
"It’s been the best experience in my whole life and meeting all of the contestants who are all a lovely bunch of people has been great."
Commenting on making it to the final, Caroline said: "I’ve learned to perform more than anything and I didn’t know how to do that before."
What a brilliant start to the festive season for Caroline and her partner Pasha.
