Vernon Kay is being lined up to host his own ITV1 chat show, according to a report today.
The presenter looks set to sign a £2 million deal with the network after approaching bosses with an idea for a programme in the 5pm slot. It is believed that the series will be similar to Channel 4's Paul O'Grady Show, featuring celebrity chat, comedy and music.
A source told The Sun: "Vernon has bags of ideas and is really keen to do something in the 5pm slot. He went to ITV and they like the idea because they want to grow him into one of their main entertainment faces. He already presents Family Fortunes and Gameshow Marathon.
"ITV now want him to have his own peak-time show but built around his personality, so trying something at 5pm will give him a good springboard."
ITV are currently trying out a number of new ideas for the 5pm slot, including a chat show for Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton and a new Chris Tarrant-hosted game show.
