Zoe Ball is reportedly in "advanced" talks about hosting ITV's Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream.

Zoe Ball is said to be in "advanced" talks to become the presenter of ITV's new ABBA musical reality show.

In the programme, Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream, West End hopefuls will compete to land one of two leading roles in a new West End production of the famous musical.

Ball, 52 - host of BBC Radio 2's breakfast show - is known to be a huge ABBA fan and The Sun says that she is ITV's top choice to serve as presenter.

"Producers believe Zoe is the ideal star to launch this exciting new series," a source told the newspaper.

"She's an ABBA expert. And the band like her so the union works really well. Zoe's excited."

Comedian Alan Carr is also thought to be on board as part of the judging panel.
