The BBC is reportedly rebooting the popular gameshow, Hole in the Wall, with Alison Hammond expected to present.
The show had previously been hosted by the late Dale Winton and Strictly judge Anton Du Beke.
The show originally ran for two series from 2008 to 2009. The BBC reportedly wanted to revive it because it received "great ratings" while it aired.
Now, a source from The Sun has suggested that Hammond is jumping "at the chance" to host the reboot.
Hole in the wall to return with Alison Hammond to host
Discussing the BBC show reboot, a source told The Sun: "Hole In The Wall got great ratings when it first came out so the Beeb have decided to bring it back.
"They are currently filming the pilot to see how it shapes up. They wanted to sign Alison and she jumped at the chance to do it."
Discussing Hammond, the source added: "She’s one of TV’s most in-demand stars right now and the Beeb is over the moon that they’ve signed her."
The BBC show Hole in the Wall featured players who were tasked with fitting through cutout holes in a variety of shapes in a polystyrene wall that slowly moved towards them.

If contestants could not make the correct cutout shape, they would fall into the swimming pool behind them.
Winners of Hole in the Wall would take home the grand prize of £10,000.
The show was inspired by Brain Wall, which was commonly referred to as Human Tetris and appeared on the Japanese show, The Tunnels' Thanks to Everyone.
