Hannah has had a number of career wins in recent years, having won an Emmy in 2021 for her role as Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso.

Last year she presented the Olivier Awards and she also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest with Graham Norton and Alesha Dixon in May last year.

In October last year she stepped out to support friend Anton at his London Palladium show, An Evening with Anton Du Beke, and attended the after-party.

The source added: 'Hannah is fast approaching national treasure status, and the Strictly bosses know she’d be a smash hit with fans. 

'So they are doing everything they can to make it work on their side, and hoping that they can encourage her to sign on the dotted line - it would be a real coup for them to get her on board.'

Hannah is also nominated for Entertainment Performance for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, where she will be up against Ant and Dec for I'm A Celeb, Big Zuu for Big Zuu's Big Eats, Graham Norton for his self-titled show, Joe Lycett for his late night show and Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan for Rob & Romesh Vs.

The actress has achieved incredible success, winning an Emmy and two Critics Choice Awards, as well as starring in hit shows Game of Thrones and Sex Education.

She recently opened up about her journey to stardom, explaining that all she wanted was a chance to show what she could do.

Hannah has said that she was never motivated by fame or fortune and her dedication to reaching the top stemmed from a thirst to prove herself. 

The mother-of-one began her career on the stage in 1998, performing in a number of West End shows and being twice nominated for an Olivier Award.

However, she said when she wanted to make the transition to screen she struggled with being 'drenched with buckets of imposter syndrome'.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said that she was 'desperate' to be taken seriously as an actress and be given 'a chance'.

After a string of small roles on My Family, Benidorm and Bad Education, Hannah landed the role of Septa Unella, in one of the world's biggest shows, Game of Thrones in 2015.

Hannah recalled: 'I'm a big believer in manifestation and I did say, 'Look, I think I've been knocking about for a while now – can I please have something that will show everything that I feel like I'm capable of?'

'And then being able to have the chance to not have to show everything very quickly, like within a scene or within an episode or whatever… that's the bit that I found most satisfying. Not fame, not money. But the actual thing of being taken seriously on screen has been the thing that I was just desperate for.'

She added: 'I'd spoken to my agent a while before and said, 'I feel like I've earned my stripes. I don't want to be constantly feeding into other people's storylines all the time. I've had enough of that.'

'And it's nothing to do with fame or money – you don't start in theatre for fame or money. It's to do with knowing your worth. There's that line between arrogance and knowing your worth. And I had found my worth and thought, 'No, I can bloody do this, thank you very much. Just give me a chance'.'
