Katherine Jenkins reportedly wants to date a "huge star" now she's making an impression in America.

The stunning opera singer is currently making waves in the States on hit TV show Dancing with the Stars. Since seeing her profile raise in the country, sources say the beauty is keen to land an A-list boyfriend and is ignoring advances from fellow Welsh star Steve Jones.

"New York Jets star Mark Sanchez is keen to take Katherine on a date and Steve Jones has been offering to show her the LA sights," a source told UK magazine Closer.

"He's playing up the Welsh connection and it can't hurt to repair his reputation after being axed from [presenting] US X Factor.

"Katherine wants to bag a huge star like Bradley Cooper or Jake Gyllenhaal."

Katherine made a great impression when she took to the dance floor on Dancing with the Stars, with the judges hailing her performance as "the best first dance on the first episode ever".

The beauty is said to be causing quite a stir away from the stage too.

"She's causing a huge buzz," the source continued. "Piers Morgan has locked her down for her first big US interview."
