Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline Jossa is set to ruffle feathers as she is reportedly 'in talks' to replace Michelle Keegan in BBC drama Our Girl.
The 27-year-old actress, who previously played Lauren Branning in EastEnders, is thought to be in "advanced talks" to take former Corrie star Michelle's role after she recently stepped down.
Michelle had cited the filming in South Africa as one of the main reasons to leave the show, wanting more time with her husband Mark Wright in the UK.
Meanwhile Jacqueline has taken a lot of opportunities on board since her I'm A Celeb stint, and her "mainstream" identity could "fit the bill perfectly" according to a source at The Sun.
"Jacqueline is keen to replace Michelle on Our Girl and has been encouraged to go for it by her former colleague and pal Lacey," the source said.
"And bosses at the Beeb want a mainstream signing and feel the Queen of the Jungle fits the bill perfectly."
No contracts have been signed as of yet, but Jacqueline is "in a good position to bag it if it all goes ahead".
A rep for Jacqueline declined to comment when contacted by Mirror Online.
A source close to the actress added that there had been "a lot of projects, both screen and stage, have been keen to discuss [with her]."
Michelle has finished filming her fourth and final outing as Georgie, the British Army medic.
It is due to air later this year and Michelle said about the experience: "I've had the most incredible four years on the show and I want to thank the BBC for giving me such an amazing opportunity."
