According to reports, the 42-year-old news anchor will be juggling her training with her Breakfast commitments as she tries to bag the Glitterball trophy.
Latest sign-up? Susanna Reid has reportedly signed up to star on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing
'We’re delighted to get Susanna on the show. She is the most popular thing on breakfast TV and is loved by millions,' an insider told The Daily Mirror.
The mother-of-three proved her dancing credentials when she performed a routine with Robin Windsor for the charity show, and is set to be partnered with him again.
But instead of taking time out from her day job to concentrate in Strictly, the star will reportedly have to try her best to do both.
'She is used to getting up early for her job, but she faces a tough schedule now to fit everything in along with her family life,' added the source.

Last year Susanna hinted that she might appear on the main show at some point, following in the footsteps of Breakfast co-host Bill Turnbull.
'I did the Children In Need one with Robin Windsor as my professional dance partner. Bill Turnbull has done the full one and if I had the opportunity to dance with Robin again I would not say no,' she said.
Susanna will be joined by Vanessa Feltz who is the first confirmed contestant, confirming the news during a surprise appearance on Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Breakfast show on Thursday morning.
The official Twitter account for the BBC Saturday night show tweeted a photo of Vanessa in her sequins after the news was announced, captioning it: ‘Here's an exclusive snap of #VanessaFeltz on set yesterday in her gorgeous sequinned dress!’
