“ITV viewers now love him again and after he won I'm A Celeb in a landslide it makes sense to keep him on the channel and take advantage of his new profile.”

“The producers are keen to get him on the show on the days Josie is hosting and then there’s Marvin Humes. It’s important for them to nurture their talent once they have it.”

A source close to Sam added: “The world is Sam's oyster professionally and more shows are definitely part of the plan and a natural progression post-Jungle.”

“His popularity and personality lend themselves perfectly to both daytime and entertainment formats, possibly a mix of both.”

“It will be great to combine new exciting opportunities with his successful existing projects, including his podcast Staying Relevant, which goes on tour in April, and his show on Hits Radio.”

TV bosses hope Sam can follow in the footsteps of former jungle queen and his former Made In Chelsea co-star Georgia Toffolo, 29, who became one after winning I'm A Celeb in 2017 got a role on This Morning.

There was also speculation he could star in a travel series alongside runner-up Tony Bellew, 41, after the pair were romantically involved in the jungle.

The Chelsea favorite built on the success of his partnership with ex-TOWIE star Pete Wicks and got closer to the heavyweight boxer, playing off his boisterous personality in comparison to Sam's giddy enthusiasm.

Sam became a regular face on ITV2 this year after joining the presenting panel of Love Island spin-off show Aftersun alongside presenter Maya Jama, 29, and former Islander Indiyah Polack, 25.

He met his long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott, 26, after she found fame on the show in 2018 and has since made a name for himself as a Love Island superfan.

And Zara starred on Strictly Come Dancing this year as her commitments to the BBC show prevented her from flying to Australia, leaving Pete to meet Sam as he crossed the bridge.
