He has proved a hit with the channel’s daytime audiences with regular This Morning appearances.
A source said: “Jungle bosses think Nick would be a brilliant addition this year. Discussions are very much ongoing.
“He knows everyone in politics so he would have a wealth of Westminster gossip around the campfire. He’d also be likely to weigh in during rows and give his opinion.
“Producers are determined to bag him this year and are prepared to dig deep into their pockets for a lucrative fee.

“It would be the first time Nick’s fans would see him in an entertainment show. He’d definitely be out of his comfort zone.”
LBC radio interviewer Ferrari married long-term partner Clare Patterson at a glitzy South of France bash last month.
Guests included Myleene Klass, Christopher Biggins and Piers Morgan.
Others rumoured to be heading into camp are Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, ex-EastEnders star Shona McGarty, 33, and YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle — better known as Angryginge.
The 25th series, hosted again by Ant and Dec, is set to start in November.
ITV said: “We do not comment on speculation about the contestants.”
