London:
Former glamour model Katie Price has reportedly landed a million pound deal to host a new reality show Make Me A Hunk.
The 32-year-old reality star, who travelled to Los Angeles last month for screen tests, will front the eight-part series where she will help transform a geeky guy in each episode.
"It is a huge deal for Kate and she is thrilled. It is the biggest gig of her career to date and the first time she will have fronted a TV show," said a source.
Katie, who recently filed for divorce from cage-fighter Alex Reid after 11 months of marriage, is said to have won over producers with her acerbic wit and British charm and now the show is the focus of a bidding war between big US networks.
Contrary to other reports, this deal was the reason she was in the States. American networks love all things British at the moment.
"They feel viewers will warm to Kate's-larger-than life personality and blunt put-downs - although producers were startled at how sarcastic and rude she was to the guy in the pilot episode. But it worked, she toughened him up and worked her magic," the source added.
