Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is the favourite to host the next season of Love Island, according to a leading bookies.
The soap actress and this year's Love Island winner is among the names suggested to replace Laura Whitmore, after she announced her departure earlier this week.
Bookmaker Coral says the 28-year-old is now topping the bets, with her odds slashed from 8-1, to 2-1.
Maya Jama is next best in the betting at 3-1, Emily Atack is 4-1, while Love Island alumni Maura Higgins is 6-1.
Rylan's odds are at 12-1, and former Big Brother host Emma Willis is at 14-1.
There appears to be a swell of popularity for Rylan on Twitter, with many offering their support for this This Morning presenter.
Ekin-Su was immensely popular with the public, with her secret balcony snog with Jay Younger, and her fiery relationship with Davide Sanclimenti captivating the nation.
The gorgeous couple stormed to victory in the final, securing 63.69% of the public vote, with runners up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish getting 14.47%.
Since leaving the villa, Ekin has secured a major £1m fashion deal with Oh Polly, appeared on Loose Women and the Big Breakfast, where it was announced she and Davide will helm a travel show.
The upcoming project with ITV2 will see the smitten pair travel to Italy and Turkey to meet each other’s families and explore their cultures.
Coral's John Hill said: “Ekin-Su was a huge hit in the Love Island villa this summer and many punters feel as though bosses are going to snap her up to replace Laura Whitmore for next year’s show,” said Coral’s John Hill.
“The reigning champion now tops the betting ahead of Maya Jama and Emily Atack,” added Hill.
However, Maya Jama and Vick Hope are reportedly the front-runners to host Love Island, with both said to be vying for the job.
A TV source told The Sun : “They’re viewed as two glamorous, fun figures who would also bring a slightly cooler edge to the format.
“Over the past three years they’ve both seen their careers go from strength to strength, and have the high profile to match that of the hit ITV show. It’s going to be a close call who ITV bosses will pick in the end.”
Laura shared a statement when she quit her role as host, with the star telling Caroline that she 'hopes she did her proud'.
She said: "Some news! I won’t be hosting the next series of Love Island.
"There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects.
"I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series.
"I hope I did you proud Caroline."
