Olivia Attwood has emerged as a surprise contender to host ITVs upcoming reboot of Big Brother.
The former Love Island star was part of the initial lineup for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but was forced to withdraw after a day due to a medical issue.
Attwood has already been working on a series of documentaries for ITV2 and now The Sun says that channel execs are also considering her for the return of Big Brother in 2023.
A source told the newspaper: "Olivia met with ITV2 bosses for talks to host Big Brother earlier in the Autumn. She was one of many presenters who have had meetings about the gig.
"It's one of the most sought-after jobs in the industry right now so it will be a very competitive role to get, but she wanted to throw her hat in the ring and producers definitely see her as a contender.
"She'd be a natural fit the role - she's sassy and fun, but also very straight-talking so she wouldn't be shy of giving any housemates who misbehave a grilling when they are eliminated.
"Olivia has also become a real face of ITV2, not only with Love Island but her successful documentaries, so it was no surprise bosses wanted to meet with her about the gig."
Other names in the frame for the job include Roman Kemp, Rylan Clark, Emily Atack and Vick Hope.
