OHMYGOSSIP — Kimberley Walsh is among the frontrunners to replace Gregg Wallace on ‘Eat Well For Less’.
The former Girls Aloud singer and Ashley Banjo are both said to have been approached, after Gregg stepped down from the BBC One show after eight years at the helm alongside Chris Bavin.
An insider said: “The BBC and makers of Eat Well For Less have chosen Kimberley and Ashley as their final two.
“Kimberley seems like the perfect fit, even though her background is mainly music.
“She has two children so has a large mummy following, plus she’s a natural on screen and is really easy-going.
“They think she would be a great addition to the prime-time show, which would see her presenting alongside host Chris Bavin.”
But the BBC are said to be keen to bring Ashley over from ITV, on which he is a judge on ‘Dancing on Ice’ and recently stood in for Simon Cowell as a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ panellist following the music mogul’s broken back.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Ashley is also in consideration for the role. Gregg and Chris’ rapport worked really well and some people at the Beeb think Ashley would be a bitter fit for that dynamic.
“Plus, Ashley has more than proved his worth as a presenter after standing in for Simon Cowell on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
“The BBC would love to have a chance to work with him and possibly move him away from ITV. Kimberley is the one people have their money on in the office, however.”
Last month, Gregg revealed he had quit ‘Eat Well For Less’.
He said: “I’ve loved working on the series with Chris but now it’s time to hand over the knife and fork to someone else to continue helping people eat well.”
