The 54-year-old presenter - who is best known for fronting 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' on ITV - had his show scrapped in May after a guest who failed a lie detector test died in a suspected suicide.

A TV insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Jeremy is a huge ratings draw and he has a great relationship with ITV, who are very keen to bring him back.

"So it was only a matter of time. An ITV team have been told 'find a format for Jeremy' and that is what they are working hard to do.

"His team have told them they are open to all ideas.

"As you would expect, chat show formats are being considered, but others are too. And it is not a given that his return will be to daytime TV.

"We are expecting to have initial meetings about what they come up with in September, with the aim of then having Jeremy back on TV early next year."

Jeremy - who was previously paid around £2 million per year by ITV - is apparently looking forward to returning to work.

A source close to the veteran presenter - whose show first aired in 2005 - said: "Jeremy has a fantastic relationship with ITV and he is excited about possible projects in the future."
