Fern Britton is tipped to join the line up for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The former 'This Morning' host is said to be in talks to make her comeback on the celebrity dancing programme, after quitting her role as co-presenter of the ITV morning show last month.

Bosses are said to be tempting her onto the show by offering her the chance to partner with professional dancer Brendan Cole - one of the most popular on the programme.

She is a natural in front of the camera and will charm viewers.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "

"Fern is a major coup. Producers have been wooing her for some time but it is only in the last few days that talks have really progressed.

"Brendan was lined-up to dance with Jo Wood but now bosses have offered him to Fern as bait.

"Fern is bound to get lots of attention and they believe he's the guy most equipped to handle it."

"She is a natural in front of the camera and will charm viewers."

Fern previously appeared on a version of 'Strictly Come Dancing' for Comic Relief, performing a version of 'Singing in the Rain', which was a huge hit at the time.

Also confirmed for the show is recently departed 'EastEnders' actor Ricky Groves, 41, who played mechanic Garry Hobbs in the BBC soap.

A source said: "Ricky wants to try something new. He's a massive fan of the show and couldn't wait to sign up."

Other stars rumoured to appear on the show include 'Loose Women' panellist Lynda Bellingham, Jo Wood - the estranged wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, 'Crimewatch' presenter Rav Wilding, former 'Footballers' Wives' stars Zoe Lucker and Laila Rouass and world super middleweight champion boxer Joe Calzaghe.
