The experiment, aimed at helping children stuck at home due to coronavirus, was a big success with more than one million viewers tuning in to take part.

According to The Sun, Channel 4 now want him to host a daily workout for the broadcaster that would cater for children and adults alike.

If the fitness programme were to go ahead, it would join the broadcaster's previously announced lockdown line-up, which includes Jamie Oliver's Keep Cooking and Carry On as well as a crafting series hosted by Kirstie Allsopp.
