Vicky Pattison is reportedly being lined up to host this year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! NOW!’.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who won the last series of the main show ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ in December – is in talks with bosses about taking over the spin-off show when it returns to screens later this year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The production team are looking at various options but Vicky is the most exciting of the lot. She’s infectious in front of the camera and knows the show inside out. She’s certainly up for it."
However, if Vicky does get the gig Down Under, the news will unlikely sit well with her fellow ‘Loose Women’ panellist Katie Price as the former glamour model is keen to helm the programme alongside her ex-husband Peter Andre.
The 37-year-old star – who met and fell in love with Peter when they were competing on the main show in 2004 – took to her Twitter account last week to write: "I would sooo present this how cool if me and Pete did it. (sic)"
Meanwhile, bosses’ frantic search for a new host comes as Laura Whitmore – who had fronted the late-night chatty programme since 2011 – announced earlier this month that she is turning her back on the jungle-based show after five "incredible years" at the helm in order to spread her wings.
