A source said: 'Poppy is hugely popular both on TikTok and on Saturday Kitchen - she's really fun and easy to work with, plus bosses can guarantee there will be no scandal around her.
"They've been in talks to get her on the 2025 series.'
Both the BBC and Poppy's agent declined to comment.
If she puts pen to paper, she will join the likes of Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis and EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal on the BBC show.
Matt Tebbutt has been earmarked for a move to MasterChef following John Torode's sacking earlier in the week.
The Australian star, 59, was axed after being hit by an allegation that he used a racist word in 2018 - something he denies doing.
It has been reported that the incident, which came to light in a report into shamed former co-star Gregg Wallace's conduct, saw him use the N-word as he sang along to Kanye West's hit song Gold Digger.
Meanwhile, 'Potato Queen' Poppy, 32, will be hoping her dance moves are as impressive as her recipes.
The Michelin-trained star's rise to the top hasn't been an overnight success. Aged 18, she worked as an apprentice at Purnell's, Birmingham, before heading to London to further her career.
It was in lockdown that she discovered TikTok after losing her job as a junior sous chef.
This Morning star reveals she's married as she shows off her wedding ring on return to show
Her online following gradually increased as more and more people tuned in to her tasty, home-made recipes.
But it was when shared her best potato meals that she shot to the top of the TikTok pile, racking up over 1 million views - and she hasn't looked back since.
It is shaping up to be a huge year for the popular online star.
She recently married partner of 16 years Matt Shattock, showing off her wedding ring on Friday's This Morning on which she was the guest chef.
The couple tied the knot at Redditch Registry Office earlier this month.

It was not approved by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is a wholly inappropriate act."
