I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here winner Christopher Biggins is reportedly in talks with ITV to host his own talk show.
The King of the Jungle admitted that he hoped his time on the reality show would entice producers to give him his own TV series.
When he left the programme at the weekend, Biggins told the Sunday Mirror: "I would very much like to have my own series. And I would like to think I have shown those in high positions in television and in the industry there is more to Christopher Biggins other than just a pantomime dame."
Reports claim that ITV wants a chat show in the teatime slot to rival Paul O'Grady's Channel 4 programme and bosses are thought to be considering Biggins for the position.
An insider said: "He is an absolute natural for the cosy world of daytime TV. He proved what a great listener he was inside the camp."
