It’s thought Angellica has handed a hefty five-figure deal.
A source said: “Angellica is an excellent booking by ITV.
“She’s one of the most recognizable faces in UK TV thanks to crossing over from children’s TV to primetime shows like The One Show and Martin Lewis.
“Angellica isn’t afraid to speak her mind either. I can’t imagine she will hold back if things kick off in there.”
Bosses will no doubt be hoping she spills all on her untimely exit from The Martin Lewis Show which left fans baffled back in 2023.
The Sun previously revealed she was all set to return to film the 13th series of the hit show before being unceremoniously ditched by uptight bosses.
Producers claimed her decision to appear on Channel 5’s The Gadget Show – freshly rebranded as Shop Smart, Save Money – represented a conflict of interest.
However, insiders insist to The Sun bosses were aware of Angellica’s decision to take part in the show, including name changes of the rival programme, throughout the whole process.
She’s since gone on to co-present on Hits Radio – covering Fleur East who was on maternity leave.
Angellica, who is married to fellow TV presenter Michael Underwood, became a household name back in the early 2000s after presenting CBBC from 2000 to 2006.
She has also presented The One Show and won the 2017 series of Celebrity MasterChef.
The Sun on Sunday previously revealed how Love Island star turned ITV racing pundit Chris Hughes has also landed a huge deal to take part in the show.
Chris, 32, will be joined by sporting legend Daley Thompson, 66.
The decathlon gold medalist is still considered by many to be Britain’s greatest athlete.
