Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton is reportedly set to become a correspondent on 'Today'.

The 31-year-old beauty - who is the younger sister of Britain's Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - is said to be close to being offered a job by US TV network NBC after her interview with host Matt Lauer earlier this year proved a hit with viewers.

A source told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix: "'Today' has been doing a test piece with Pippa in Utah, and if it works out well - and it looks like it will - they will hire her as a correspondent."

Shortly after her interview with Matt in June, it was reported that Pippa - who is a party planner and writer - would be presenting special segments on issues such as lifestyle and health, rather than the British royals.

An insider said at the time: "NBC, along with all the major networks, has been trying to sign Pippa for some time."

However, a representative for NBC denied Pippa would be restricted to those subjects, saying: "This is 100 per cent not true and it seems anyone suggesting otherwise is 'royally' jealous."
