Christine McGuinness is reportedly in discussions about appearing in ITV's forthcoming sport reality series The Real 2022 Games.
The show - originally planned to air in 2020 but delayed due to the pandemic - will see celebrities compete in a variety of traditional Olympic events, earning points along the way in a bid to be crowned the ultimate champion.
According to The Sun, 33-year-old McGuinness - wife of comedian Paddy McGuinness and former star of Real Housewives of Cheshire - is in active talks about taking part in the challenge.
"Christine is becoming a really popular telly star and at the moment she is seriously in demand," a source told the newspaper.
"The makers of The Real 2022 Games are casting the stars at the moment and they have been in discussions with Christine about the possibility of her taking part.
"The show will see stars competing in a series of Olympic sports including the javelin and synchronised swimming.
"As a character, Christine has such an interesting back story as a working mum to three children with autism, and bosses know that viewers would relate to her.
"Christine is also incredibly physically fit and would be up for all the challenges the series would put her through.
"She is the ideal fit for The Real 2022 Games and if they can make the filming dates work then they hope Christine will sign on the dotted line and come on board."
The Real 2022 Games - to be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff - is expected to air in the spring, a couple of months before the 2022 Commonwealth Games take place in Birmingham.
