"It sounds crazy, but I'm so married to my work that I rarely meet new people! I'm around the same people all the time, I've been on this show for nearly a decade," she said with reference to "DWTS."

The reality TV franchise, which first debuted in 2002, acts as a dating game show where female contestants compete for the love of an eligible bachelor and since 2003, an eligible "Bachelorette" has also been created in a spinoff show which caters to male contestants.

The show's season finale will often feature a marriage proposal, although many past winners have failed to sustain their relationships after the show.

Burke was once romantically linked to former NFL star Chad Ochocinco, and more recently, NHL star Joffrey Lupul. She claims that her dating disasters have motivated here to become the next "Bachelorette."

"Over the summer I dated a couple of guys and it turned out all bad, so I just figured if someone were to make the choice for me then maybe I'd have a better chance of meeting someone good!" Burke said.

Burke could join the likes of former "Bachelorette" stars Emily Maynard and Ali Fedotowsky, although both women eventually called off their engagements.
