Piers Morgan is tipped to be the first person to interview Britney Spears since her conservatorship ended last year.
He's preparing to start a new weeknight show on talkTV, with sources suggesting the chat with the pop icon might launch the series.
The interview, which is thought to air in spring, will lift the lid on Britney's personal life uncovering the toxic 13 years under the the control of her father Jamie and her family fallout.

It will also cover the singer's two previous marriages, as well as her relationship with fiancé Sam Asghari, reports the Mirror.
Britney joked last year she would “set things square on Oprah”, hinting she planned to speak with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey in a similar episode to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ’s interview last year.
But no plans for an Oprah interview have been confirmed, according to US reports.
Instead, the UK interview could also be broadcast overseas in America and Australia.
Bagging the interview would be a win for Piers Morgan, an insider suggested, adding: “She’s one of the biggest names in showbiz with a fascinating story to tell.
“Piers would love to sit down with Britney – as would his former employees ITV – so it would be a major coup for him. And he wants to start with a bang.”
The fallout from their interview led to Piers quitting Good Morning Britain after ITV bosses asked him to apologise for a controversial rant about Meghan.
It was the most complained about TV moment of last year but regulator Ofcom decided not to investigate.
Last year, Piers wrote a supportive article calling for Britney to be “freed” from the “torture” of her conservatorship. The TV host added: “It was stunning to hear the brutal reality from Britney’s own mouth.”
