Vanessa Feltz has reportedly been offered a fantastic deal to front her very own television show on TalkTV.
The 60-year-old broadcaster recently quit BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio London and told her listeners that she has decided to turn off her alarm clock once and for all and leave the station this month. Bosses at news channel TalkTV are apparently ready to "break the bank" to get her on board and are prepared to pay Vanessa as much as £1million.
A source told Daily Star: "Vanessa has already been a panelist on TalkTV many times and she's really impressed the bosses. They now want her to host her own show. Discussions have been going very well and they're confident they can convince her to do it," they added.
TalkTV execs are hoping to get Vanessa to sign a deal within days. Other famous faces who work on the channel include Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Jeremy Kyle. Vanessa has enjoyed a very successful career in television in radio. It began when she replaced Paula Yates on Channel 4's morning TV show The Big Breakfast, presenting a regular item where she interviewed celebrities whilst lying on a bed.
She presented the ITV daytime television chat show, Vanessa, made by Anglia Television and then moved to the BBC to host a similar show, The Vanessa Show, in 1998 in a reported £2.7 million deal. In 2001, Vanessa joined the local radio station BBC London 94.9 to present a mid-afternoon phone-in show and it has continued to run since then at various times, from 2005 to 2015 at 9am to noon. Since 2016 it has been broadcast from 7am to 10am Monday to Friday.
She regularly appears on ITV daytime show This Morning to discuss the latest headlines and sometimes acts as an agony aunt too.
The Mirror has contacted a representative for Vanessa asking for comment.
