Brooke Burke may be returning to Dancing With the Stars.

The former DWTS champ, 38, is in the running to be the show's next co-host.

"The news about me hosting DWTS is true," Burke Twittered Tuesday. "I am screen testing next week for the job, fingers crossed! It would be amazing 2 be back!"

The search for a new co-host -- to helm the hit ABC show alongside Tom Bergeron -- began after Samantha Harris announced she would be leaving the show to focus on her journalism career at The Insider.

If Burke -- who won the mirror ball trophy with pro partner Derek Hough during Season 7 -- gets the gig, she'll return to the dance floor for the DWTS premiere on March 22.

"I remember that feeling like yesterday," she Twittered.

The new cast of celebrity competitors will be announced after The Bachelor finale on March 1.

    I want Sabrina to get the job! She's awesome and totally deserves it after getting cut from DWTS when she should have won it!
