Jake Quickenden may have only just settled back into normal life after winning Dancing On Ice in March this year, but the 29-year-old has already sparked rumours that he's heading back onto the small screen later this year.
After tweeting earlier today that he's "ready for a new challenge," fans have gone wild for the cryptic post - with many being convinced that he could be trying out yet another dancing TV show... AKA, Strictly Come Dancing.
The former X Factor and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star was flooded with tweets, many of which were pretty sure that the ambiguous message meant that he was heading for the Strictly dancefloor.
But Jake didn't stop there, retweeting one person and saying that he would definitely be up for trying out the show, writing, 'I'd give it a bash for sure.'
Check out other celebrities who are rumoured for Strictly Come Dancing 2018...

Gemma Collins
TOWIE star Gemma Collins is a firm favourite to land a place on this year's show.

We generally have people of a higher calibre than that."
Rylan Clark-Neal
This Morning presenter Rylan Clark-Neal recently expressed his interest in taking part in the popular dancing show. He said, "I'm a big fan of Strictly.

He may have won Dancing On Ice earlier this year, but Jake Quickenden has sparked rumours he's heading to Strictly too.
Fans were ecstatic over the second message, with one writing, 'Think you'd be great,' another adding, 'I could definitely see you doing this' and one commented, 'Yeah you definitely should, would love to see you dance.'
However, this flies in the face of an interview he gave to Express.co.uk earlier this year, where he joked that he couldn't take part as he's already done too many reality TV shows.
He said, "I probably couldn’t do it this year because then I would definitely be the biggest reality idiot on TV! But I would never say no to something as big as Strictly."
But later in the interview he revealed that he'd love to do the show, adding, "I would definitely be up for it if the opportunity ever came along but I think it would be a couple of years now."
Although Jake sadly split from his fiancée Danielle Fogarty shortly after Dancing On Ice ended, he's since been spotted with ex-Love Island star Darylle Sargeant, who he was seen sharing a smooch with on a date in Leeds earlier today.
