ITV is reportedly considering bringing back Deal Or No Deal with Stephen Mulhern.
The show, which sees contestants attempt to win up to £250,000 by selecting numbered boxes, was originally hosted by Noel Edmonds and ran for 13 series on Channel 4 between 2005 and 2016.
According to The Sun, ITV has held provisional talks about reviving the format and has earmarked Mulhern as a potential new presenter.
"Deal Or No Deal was absolutely huge back in the day and pulled in millions of viewers," a source told the newspaper. "ITV think there is still a huge appetite for it and think they could make a huge success of the show if they brought it back.
"Plans for the reboot are in the very early stages and the details of when it could come back are being closely guarded.
"There have been discussions around Noel possibly returning but ITV decided they want to give the show a completely fresh look and feel.
"Stephen has been approached about being the new host of the show which is something he is over the moon about.
"He has really proven himself to ITV and after he got his own show In For A Penny, as well as Catchphrase, bosses think Stephen could be ideal for it."
The show is expected to be piloted in the coming months with the possibility of a full series being commissioned in 2023.
