Shane Warne has apparently accepted a role as the presenter of a new series of Top Gear Australia.
The ex-cricketer, who is known for his love of fast cars, is believed to be hosting six episodes of the motoring show with the presenter of the UK's version, Jeremy Clarkson.
The Nine Network confirmed with the Herald Sun that it has held discussions with Warne to host the programme, but no formal agreement has been signed.
The television channel is likely to make an announcement within the next few days.
Previously, the Australian version of the show had two seasons on SBS fronted by Steve Pizzati, Warren Brown and James Morrison, but it has failed to snare the same large audiences as the British original.
