Ant & Dec to front 'Soccer Aid'?

ITV is close to signing Ant & Dec to front new celebrity football series Soccer Aid, according to Broadcast.

The Endemol show, which will air daily in primetime for a week in April, has involvement from Robbie Williams and kids charity Unicef.

"Final negotiations are taking place at the moment but it is almost a certainty they will do it," a source told the magazine. "Robbie really wants them to."

Meanwhile, the broadcaster is likely to premiere the two-week celebrity version of The X Factor on Sunday, May 28, just days after Simon Cowell wraps up American Idol and two days after C4 is expected to launch the new series of Big Brother.
