The show is rumoured to be setup by the same company responsible for the relaunch Blind Date with Paul O'Grady. The original version of the show, which had Chris Tarrant in the presenter's seat, ran from 1998 to 2014.

A source told the paper: "Jeremy is a huge character and the bosses are convinced he is going to come in and really make the show his own.
