Could Cheryl Burke be the next “Bachelorette”?

When the “Dancing With the Stars” champ nonchalantly tossed her name out for consideration last week, the dancer wasn’t pulling anyone’s leg.

“It’s definitely something I would think about,” said the two-time DWTS champ in a telephone interview. Like DWTS, “The Bachelorette” is a hit show for the ABC network.

“I think it would be a great opportunity for me to meet people because I’ve been so busy and married to my work lately. It’s really a struggle for me to go out and meet guys, and I’m kind of the shy type. I’m not aggressive. I’m not the person to chase people.
