Vernon Kay is reportedly in talks to host a new Saturday night show called Game of Talents for ITV.

Vernon Kay is reportedly in talks about hosting a new Saturday night show for ITV called Game of Talents.

The 46-year-old was one of the most popular campmates on the recent series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, eventually finishing in third place.

According to The Sun, ITV is keen for Kay to host Game of Talents, which will see celebrities team up with members of the public to guess the skills of mystery performers.

"Vernon may not have won I'm A Celeb but from day one he was the star of the show - likeable, warm and really down to earth," a source told the newspaper.

"Vern hasn't been on ITV primetime since Family Fortunes six years ago, so it feels like now is the perfect time to bring him back into the fold."

ITV is in the hunt for key Saturday night shows after being forced to cancel this year's Britain's Got Talent due to coronavirus.
