Alison Hammond could be eyeing up a huge move across the pond after making Variety's top 30 most powerful women on reality TV in 2024.
The Birmingham presenter, 49, has become an instant hit with the American audience, with Kylie Jenner even revealing she is a fan of The Great British Bake Off.
Alison took over from Matt Lucas as host last year and the popular programme airs in the US and Canada under the name, The Great British Baking Show.
The This Morning host sits alongside Rita Ora and a whole host of Real Housewives, Love Is Blind and Jersey Shore stars in the top 30.
Of why the presenter made the shortlist, Variety wrote: 'Since joining the show in 2023, Hammond has shone with the combination of her warm demeanor and authenticity.
'Connecting to both contestants and viewers, it’s no surprise she also became the presenter for “For the Love of Dogs” this year following Paul O’Grady’s death.'

SuperTV reshared the news on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote: 'Alison Hammond being named one of the most powerful women in US reality TV this year by Variety is soooooo iconic. Alison is coming to break America!' (sic).
Another added: 'Well Alison Hammond, breaking into America wasn't on my celebrity bingo this year. But well done her, she's lovely'.
'That's absolutely hilarious'.
It comes after Kylie revealed The Great British Bake Off is her favourite show.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, who has one of the world's biggest Instagram followings, admitted in a vlog on TikTok that she loves the programme and even confessed to crying while catching up on Caramel Week's episodes.
She said: 'Watching my favourite show, the Great British Baking show and it's Caramel Week. Fully crying.'
During the chaotic episode that Kylie was catching up on, Mike was the baker to be eliminated from the competition.
Alison first became a household name when she appeared on Big Brother in 2002, a decision she later revealed was down to wanting to clear her 'traumatising debt'.

Most UK viewers will recognise her cheerful presence on This Morning - usually alongside co-host and pal Dermot O'Leary, 51, but she has been a hit in the US with her GBBO hosting gig

And despite humble beginnings and a strained relationship with her 'shady' father while growing up in Birmingham, Alison has gone from strength to strength in her career.
Alison's charisma instantly made her a Big Brother success story, hence propelling her start into presenting.
Despite not winning, she had landed a gig presenting This Morning, with her role growing over the years.
While most will recognise her cheerful presence on This Morning - usually alongside co-host and pal Dermot O'Leary, 51, Alison has upped her earning potential with fashion deals, voiceover work and acting in the past.
