The BBC Three presenter will don her dancing shoes later this year for Strictly Come Dancing 2018.
The star’s latest BBC gig was announced on Thursday via the official BBC Instagram account, in view of its 332,000 followers.
Following the exciting news, a post was shared on the show’s verified Twitter account, @BBCStrictly, which addressed who her future dance partner could be.
And, while show bosses are remaining tight-lipped about which professional she could be dancing with, one Strictly favourite couldn’t help but share their excitement about working with the 31-year-old.
The post by the BBC read: “Stacey Dooley’s next investigation: who will be her #Strictly dance partner?
“All we know is that @StaceyDooley’s joining our glittering 2018 line-up!”
And, after seeing the tweet, Kevin Clifton, who first joined the show’s professional line-up back in 2013, rushed to show his support for the journalist.
Hitting at his hopes that he would be partnered with the star, the 35-year-old swooned: “I am such a fan of @StaceyDooley!”
Hours later, she responded to the choreographer with a cryptic message.
Avoiding sharing any text, the Luton-born presenter tweeted a series of emojis.

The first image was of an open-mouthed emoji, which is defined by Emojipedia.org as a “weary face”.
She proceeded to post a broken heart emoji, followed by a number of hearts.
Finishing off her mysterious message with emojis of a man and a woman dancing.
After seeing Kevin’s post, fans rushed to share their thoughts about the duo being paired up together.
“You two would be amazing together,” swooned one social media user.
Another fan gushed: “We are hoping she’s your partner – a perfect match!”
A third person enthused: “Ooooh, she’d be brill for you Kev!”(sic)
“Well we now know who you’d like to be paired with then! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you,” wrote a fourth.
