A source told : "Scarlett is now a serious contender - she opened a lot of eyes to her potential on I'm A Celebrity.

"She is young, very funny and just the type of presenter Channel 4 are looking for to front their version of the show."

The newspaper claims the likes of Victoria Coren Mitchell, Davina McCall, Sandi Toksvig and Sarah Millican are being lined up as co-hosts.

Only Paul Hollywood remains from the original show line-up after Mary Berry, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc opted to remain loyal to the BBC as the show made a multi-million pound deal to move to Channel 4.

The news comes as it was revealed Scarlett quit her job at Capital North East to focus on becoming the new queen of UK TV.

The jungle star has walked away from her radio show to concentrate on building her TV career.
