According to the Daily Star, Hunter, who fronted Five's catwalk reality show 'Make Me a Supermodel', is in talks to replace Kelly Brook, who co-hosted the first series alongside Kielty but was mauled by critics for her "wooden" delivery. She was similarly attacked for her presenting style during her days on the Channel 4's 'The Big Breakfast'.
It is understood that the broadcaster is considering hiring former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant Anthea Turner to host its ITV2 spin-off show 'Aftersun' alongside Matt Brown.
Contestants in the frame this year are said to include troubled model Sophie Anderton, who appeared on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here', model and actress Emma Noble, The Cheeky Girls and former Steps singer Lee Latchford-Evans.
Last year's show was won by former Manchester United and Leeds United footballer Lee Sharpe and presenter Jayne Middlemiss.
It also made an unlikely star out of former 'Hollyoaks' actor Paul Danan, whose bizarre and relentless attempts at wooing the female contestants were a major ratings success and have now led to his own show on ITV2, 'Test Drive My Girlfriend'.
