Caroline Flack is in talks to present 'Love Island'.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' winner, who is also being lined up to present the next series of 'The X Factor' with Olly Murs, is in advanced discussions with ITV bosses about hosting the show on her own, although her commitments to the singing competition may mean she is unable to take the job.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Caroline's been in talks for some time about being the sole presenter of 'Love Island'.
"Obviously the 'X Factor' job complicates things a bit because it's going to screen over summer.
"But they're looking at the dates and trying to make it work around her.
"It's a real sign that she's right back in favour at ITV."
The show - which originally ran for two series' between 2005 and 2006 - was confirmed to be making a comeback earlier this year, with the broadcaster revealing a host of famous singletons will once again be jetting off together to live in a private villa with the hope of finding love.
The original show saw 12 celebrities spend five weeks on an island in Fiji with the winning couple receiving a prize fund worth £50,000, with Calum Best and his love interest Bianca Gascoigne being crowned the winners of the second series before the show was axed.

Eleanor Tomlinson refuses to do nude scenes.
The 'Poldark' actress has criticised the expectation of women to film nude scenes on TV and film, explaining she prefers much more subtle ways of showing sexual chemistry because on-screen nudity has become so common.
She explained: "I don't do nudity, I don't feel the need to do it. In fact it's sexier if you don't do nudity. Especially nowadays when it's become all that sells a series. 'Poldark' has proven that you don't need nudity to convey a sexual relationship. It can be something as simple as the hair on the back of my neck moving as he's kissing me. It's the tiny things that get you hot under the collar."
The 22-year-old plays the love interest of Ross Poldark - played by Aidan Turner - in the BBC series, and admitted she finds the audience reaction to his muscled body ridiculous, even though it is refreshing to see a man being objectified on TV instead of a woman.
She told The Times newspaper: "It's nice to see a man doing it, as opposed to the women, who seem to have to go full frontal all the time now.
"Look, he's got a great body, and he works very hard at it, and it's great that people are talking about the show.
"But I'm hoping that the hysteria around it will die down slightly, and people will start talking about the storylines. Because it's getting a little bit tiring, even for Aidan."

Sophie Turner didn't tell anyone she was auditioning for 'Game of Thrones'.
The 19-year-old actress landed the role of Sansa Stark when she was just 13 and the news even came as a shock to her mother.
She said: "I didn't even tell my mum about the first auditions but, by the final one, I said to myself, 'I'll die if I don't get this part. I just know Sansa too well. I can't not get it.' "
Sophie adores the show but admits she feels relieved when the difficult scenes are completed because she has such a strong connection to her character.
She said: "It is a relief when I finish doing the more upsetting scenes and I can get back to happy old Sophie.
"When I'm reading the script and something happens to Sansa, I cry.
"There is a real connection between us - I feel everything she feels. I don't think anything in her life has really affected me - I hope not or I'd be the most depressed girl ever."
However, the actress admits she wants to be more like her alter ego.
She added to Look magazine: "I admire her strength and strive to be more like her."

Jake Quickenden has moved in with Danielle Fogarty.
The 26-year-old star, who appeared on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here' last year, met Danielle - the daughter of his camp-mate Carl Fogarty - at the show's after-party and their romance has progressed at a rapid pace since then.
Jake told HELLO! magazine: "I didn't go to Australia looking for a girlfriend.
"We only spent a little bit of time together at the after-party, but of course she's a beautiful girl and I'm only human so I was attracted to her.
"We had a bit of a dance and we got back in touch when we came back to the UK.
"And now here we are, boyfriend and girlfriend. It's amazing. We're really, really happy."
The romance has already won the approval of Carl, the former World Superbike Champion who was crowned the King of the Jungle.
He said: "I spent a lot of time getting to know Jake in the jungle. He wants to make something of himself and get somewhere with his music.
"He's not afraid of hard work and he's very motivated. I admire that about him."

ITV bosses are on the hunt for a hunky actor to play Sarah Harding's on-screen love interest in 'Coronation Street'.
The 33-year-old former Girls Aloud star was recently confirmed as the newest member of the cast and show bosses are currently on the lookout for an attractive male aged around 35 to play Tracy Barlow's long-lost ex-husband and Sarah's current on-screen partner Robert Preston.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Robert is going to be a really good character and shake things up for Tracy.
"When we last saw him he was a carpet fitter but these days he's a chef.
"The love triangle will be gripping and viewers will be waiting for the penny to drop as he tries to juggle two very strong women."
Sarah - whose character is still to be named - is only scheduled to appear in four episodes of the popular soap opera, but show bosses have already said there's scope to extend her role.
Speaking last week after her casting was confirmed, Sarah said: "I am extremely excited to be joining Coronation Street.
"As a fan it's a huge honour for me to join.
"I can't wait to get started!"

Amy Childs is "upset" at her aunt for raising nine children.
The reality TV star says that although she loves her aunt, she strongly disagrees with her decision to have so many children and in turn, accept financial support from the British government.
The 24-year-old businesswoman said: "I love my auntie more than anything but she lives off benefits. She has nine children and that is her life. Sometimes people like that upset me.
"I look at her and she's had a lot of money from the government. And there's me working my a*** off. I meet her friends and they're on benefits. Some don't want to work. It comes down to laziness."
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star also said it's unfair that people like herself work hard for their money only to see it subsidise other people having children.
Speaking ahead of the general election in May, Amy told The Sun newspaper: "Our country needs to be working. Money isn't going to come out of nowhere. I am in the highest tax bracket. But why am I paying 45 percent tax and doing all of this work to pay for people that are having loads of children?"

Mike Tindall enjoyed eating bugs on 'Bear Grylls: Mission Survive'.
The former English rugby player - who is married to Britain's Queen Elizabeth's eldest grandchild, Zara Phillips - revealed he loved taking part in the survival series in the rainforest of Costa Rica because he found the challenges of eating creepy crawlies to be "interesting".
He confessed: "I like eating, so trying bugs, worms and maggots was all very interesting."
However, the 36-year-old sportsman admitted there were some slightly unpleasant delicacies, including an arachnid which he wasn't too eager to taste.
He continued: "A tarantula was more difficult. They don't taste like anything at all. The scorpions tasted a bit like crab cakes."
Nevertheless, he soon found a way of cooking up the creatures to ensure they made for a tasty snack.
He said: "One of the mentors on the show gave us a tip that maggots taste better with sugar and fried over the fire - and they did indeed."
And although he was made to consume all manner of strange things during his time on the show, he liked the experience because it freed him from modern technology.
He added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I enjoyed taking myself out of my comfort zone and being at the mercy of the elements, and it was liberating not to have a phone, laptop or television with me. It's nice to strip your life down to the basics, with no advance planning, waking up when the sun rises and sleeping when the sun goes down."

Stevie McCrorie has won 'The Voice'.
The former firefighter beat off competition from Lucy O'Byrne to be crowned the champion of the BBC One show.
Speaking after his win, he said: "I'm so lost for words right now.
"I can't thank everyone enough for doing this for me. I never thought this was possible."
But the 29-year-old singer - who will release his debut single, a cover of Adam Levine's 'Lost Stars' in aid of BBC's Performing Arts Fund charity - isn't planning to celebrate for too long as he revealed he is getting down to "business" straight away.
He said: "After tonight, it gets down to business. Obviously the single is going to be out at midnight tonight.
"Everybody that's voted for me, go and buy that single. It's the start of my career."
Meanwhile, runner-up Lucy is hoping she can continue with a career in music following the show.
She said: "Hopefully this will lead to me being a singer now and not having to go back (to my old job) ...
"It's been incredible. You've changed my life."
Earlier in the show, Sasha Simone and Emmanuel Nwamadi were voted off by the public, leaving Lucy and Stevie to fight for the crown.

Danny Dyer is having a Spanish themed wedding.
The 'EastEnders' actor is planning to wed his girlfriend of 20 years, Joanne Mas - with whom he has daughters Dani and Sunnie, and son Arty - in August 2016, and his 37-year-old fiancée has revealed the interesting choice of idea for the celebration, but admitted it might be hampered by Danny's desire for Cockney home comforts.
She said: "It's going to be a two or three-day event. It is going to be Spanish themed, though there might be a few Cockney things. Danny might want a bit of pie and mash and liquor."
Despite the playful nature of their forthcoming nuptials, Joanne confessed it was a family health scare which prompted her to pop the question to the 37-year-old hunk, as she was worried her dad wouldn't be around long enough to see her walk up the aisle after he was rushed to hospital in December with a facial tumour.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she recalled: "He collapsed the day before Christmas Eve and had to go to hospital. They had to drain the tumour and he also had cracked his ribs.
"I had a panic attack and thought, 'I need that man at the wedding'. I didn't think he was going to live, that is the honest truth.
"I wanted him to walk me down the aisle. Danny has asked me to marry him four times and I said no but this time feels right."
