Bradley Walsh has been approached to take over from Des O'Connor as the host of Countdown, according to a report.
O'Connor decided to quit the Channel 4 game show last month in favour of new projects.
Former Coronation Street star Walsh, who played factory boss Danny Baldwin on the soap, is now expected to sign a three-month contract with the programme. If his stint is successful, he could become the show's permanent host.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "Bradley is the perfect Countdown presenter. He is already a household name and is adored by millions of housewives across the country."
The newspaper also claims that bosses will "stop at nothing" to sign up Myleene Klass as a replacement for Carol Vorderman, who recently announced her departure after 26 years as the show's co-host.
