STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses are battling it out against I'm A Celeb's head honchos to secure a major Olympic star for the next series.
The medal-winner "will be loved by viewers" according to sources, who claim he has been hailed the "perfect fit" for both the BBC and ITV's flagship shows.
MailOnline reports it is in fact Tom Daley, 27, who delighted fans as he finally won Olympic Gold at Tokyo 2020 who is the subject of the TV frenzy.
A source told the publication: "There is a race to secure Tom - both broadcasters know he will be loved by viewers. "Strictly bosses feel sure that he will stay in the competition until very near to the end, if not the final, while ITV feels he would be perfect fit to join other celebrities in the jungle. "Tom has a broad fanbase but is very popular with the 16 to 24 age bracket, which both the BBC and ITV are keen to keep watching their shows." .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
