Liberal MP and television commentator Craig Kelly is in talks to become a regular co-host of Sky News' Outsiders program following the network's decision to sack Ross Cameron for racist comments.

Mr Kelly - who faces a preselection challenge for his Sydney seat of Hughes ahead of the federal election - confirmed he had a "verbal agreement" to co-host the program with commentator Rowan Dean on a "semi-regular" basis, likely to be once a week.

"It depends how the ratings go. At the moment I think I’m doing next Tuesday night as well," he told Fairfax Media after co-hosting the program on Tuesday.

"They [Sky] approached us. There’s no financial compensation. It’s all done for love and spreading the [Liberal] message."
