Vanessa is reportedly top of the producers' wishlist for the next series of Celebs Go Dating following her split from long-term partner Ben Ofoedu.
The TalkTV host, 60, had been with Ofoedu - singer with electro dance act Phats & Small - for almost 18 years but announced last week that they have parted ways.
Now producers of E4 reality show Celebs Go Dating are planning to tempt her to sign up for their new series with a "big money" offer, according to The Sun.
"Vanessa is top of the wishlist when it comes to casting," a source told the newspaper.
"Talks with potential castmates are going to begin next month and producers are willing to throw big money Vanessa's way in a bid to get her to sign on the dotted line.
"She's been so brave and dignified with how she has dealt with this break-up, and the nation absolutely love her.
"Everyone wants to see her find her happy ending, she really deserves it, so bosses are confident it would be a real ratings winner if she agreed to get on board.
"It remains to be seen whether Vanessa will take them up on their offer but they are going to pull out all the stops, so watch this space."
The new series of Celebs Go Dating is expected to be filmed this summer for broadcast later in the year.
