Tom, 50, is a food writer and restaurant critic and has made regular appearances on MasterChef as a judge.
A source said: 'Top of their wishlist is MasterChef star Tom. His name was also sounded-out last year but never materialised. Bosses hope they'll have better luck this year.
'It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?'
Made In Chelsea star and I'm A Celebrity winner Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo is also on the dance show's radar.
A source told The Sun: "Georgia is in talks to join – she would bring glamour, poise and fun to the show.
"She's been a huge hit on all the telly shows she's done and would be a popular contestant on Strictly."
A celebrity confirmed for this year's series is Apprentice star Thomas Skinner.
The Cockney entrepreneur, 34 — known for his catchphrase 'Bosh!' — was first introduced to viewers on Lord Alan Sugar's show in 2019.
A source said on Friday: 'Thomas hasn't any dancing experience, but he's up for giving the competition his best shot.
'Strictly bosses are hoping he'll get the dads watching. He has a massive following, especially with working-class blokes.

'He's a huge football fan and enjoys pies and gravy. He's not a luvvie at all.
"He's bound to get his catchphrase 'Bosh' on to the show, too."
Thomas, who has three kids with wife Sinéad, was asked previously about appearing on the BBC1 dance show.
He said: 'My mum loves it, she'd love me to do that.'
And he recently underwent a body transformation, shedding weight and bulking up in the gym.

EXCLUSIVE Did the dancing Queen put in a good word? Strictly's Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly to be awarded top gongs in King's Birthday Honours list
They are the ultimate double act as television's trailblazing all-female presenting duo. So how fitting for Strictly Come Dancing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will both be awarded with top gongs in the upcoming King's Birthday Honours, the Mail can reveal. The King and the Queen are dedicated watchers of the BBC dance programme, which last year celebrated its 20th anniversary, and will bestow the honours on the long-time presenters. The pair have been part of the Strictly team since its launch in 2004, with Ms Daly, 56, presenting the main show with Sir Bruce Forsyth and Ms Winkleman, 53, hosting the BBC2 spin-off It Takes Two. After impressing BBC bosses, Ms Winkleman was promoted to hosting the Sunday results show alongside Ms Daly before becoming the main co-host in 2014 following the departure of Sir Bruce when he reduced his workload. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Last year, the Queen described herself as 'one of Strictly's greatest fans' and told Strictly professional dancer Johannes Radebe 'we all watch it'. Ms Daly's husband the BBC radio presenter Vernon Kay has previously talked of the 'real friendship' that has formed between his wife and Her Majesty, with the Queen even keen to know what goes on behind-the-scenes. Kay, 51, said: 'Camilla and Tess have a real friendship through it now. They don't text, but we have mutual friends and messages come through. 'When they see each other, the Queen is always asking: 'Who is your favourite?' She wants to know the backstage gossip. 'It's crazy to think of the King and Queen sat on the sofa with a brew watching your wife present Strictly.' Her Majesty hosted a palace tea party for Strictly where she danced with former professional Brendan Cole, been in the audience and filmed a video message for the 2020 final, which was won by Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse. The Queen is a keen dancer who has attended Silver Swans, classes for elderly ballet dancers run by the Royal Academy of Dance. The news will also bring some joy to the Strictly team after a difficult few years as it faced a number of complaints about mistreatment on the show, which led to the departures of professionals Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima last year. While celebrities Wynne Evans and Jamie Borthwick have also faced accusations of inappropriate behavior on this year's Strictly tour. The Queen is a keen dancer who has attended Silver Swans, classes for elderly ballet dancers run by the Royal Academy of Dance (pictured dancing with the late Strictly judge Len Goodman in 2019) Both Strictly hosts engage in charity work including Daly, who is a proud supporter of the King's Trust and patron of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, and Winkleman, who is a patron of Child Bereavement UK and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity. David Beckham is set to be awarded with a knighthood when the full King's Birthday Honour's List is unveiled on Saturday. A Whitehall source said: 'It is the most showbiz list for years, and you don't get glitzier than Strictly Come Dancing.'
