Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is being lined up to host her own ITV1 chat show. A pilot episode is being filmed in a few weeks' time.
If it proves a hit with ITV bosses, the show is set to land a primetime weekday slot.
Halliwell, 34, is likely to rope in her celebrity friends as guests. The one-time Ginger Spice counts George Michael and Little Britain star David Walliams as her close pals - as well as her former bandmates.
A source told Broadcast magazine: "It's really early days but the idea is that Geri could really get to the heart of issues with her guests."
The pilot is being made by Talkback Thames, the company behind 'The X Factor'. Talkback confirmed it is in talks with Halliwell and the format is in development.
Halliwell is currently tackling new challenges following the birth of daughter Bluebell Madonna. In addition to her TV career, she is writing a series of children's books to be published next year.
