Ian Thorpe is to star in his own television show in a bid to revive his career.

The Australian Olympic gold medallist swimmer, who has previously hosted TV series Undercover Angels, confirmed yesterday that he is in talks with industry bosses to host a "lifestyle" show.

Thorpe told The Daily Telegraph: "We may be doing something soon - I don't know when. I have a lot of ideas. It's pretty clear in my head but just depends. It will be lifestyle-based."

The new show - which a production source claimed to be underway already - is believed to be produced by Thorpe too.
