Vicky Pattison ‘in talks’ to present I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! NOW!
The 28-year-old became a household favourite after winning the show last year
Vicky Pattison has been "in talks" to present I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! NOW!
The 28-year-old - who won the main show I'm A Celeb last year - has confirmed she's been having meetings with ITV bosses about hosting the spin-off following Laura Whitmore's recent departure.
Speaking on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the former Geordie Shore star said: "I would snatch their hands off, I really would [if I was offered the hosting role]. There have been names thrown around [since Laura's departure].”
She added: “There are talks but nothing is confirmed.”
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 38-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 recently to write: "I would sooo present this how cool if me and Pete did it. (sic)"
The role is currently up for grabs after Laura Whitmore – who fronted the show since 2011 - announced she was quitting after five "incredible years” in order to spread her wings.
Vicky has carved a career for herself presenting since her I’m A Celeb win - which has helped her shed her raunchy Geordie Shore image once and for all.
Her roles have included becoming a regular panellist on Loose Women, hosting dating show It’s Not Me, It’s You and various bits for This Morning.
