A source said: ‘Katie went down a storm with bosses during her appearance on the show last month and producers are looking to make her a regular on the show.
‘Meetings are ongoing but after the success of her BBC documentary Harvey and Me, she’s keen to show there’s more to her than her glamour model past.
‘She will be covering a string of serious issues that are close to her heart – almost in a roving reporter style position.’

A representative for Channel 4 declined to comment while MailOnline has also contacted a representative for Katie Price.
Katie emotionally spoke about the difficulties of raising Harvey during her appearance on the show last month as she discussed her documentary.
She said: ‘Sometimes I wish that he would go before me because he wouldn’t be able to cope if I wasn’t there.
‘I know that’s harsh to say but I know a lot of people in my situation would feel the same.

‘Obviously I don’t want him to go but he so relies on me in every way and our communication. If I’d gone he wouldn’t understand where I’d gone.’
Harvey is reportedly in talks to film a second BBC documentary, as he moves out of his family home and embarks on a new life in residential college.
A source told The Sun: ‘Katie has agreed to a second instalment, which will follow Harvey’s journey as he starts residential college. They’re already in talks about what they’ll film and plan to start in summer.’
A spokesperson for Katie confirmed in a statement: ‘I can say with confidence there will be a part two of this wonderful documentary.

‘Katie has been inundated with requests for a follow up to cover the next steps in Harvey’s transition.’
Katie believes the move is vital for Harvey’s well-being because she can no longer restrain the at 6ft2in and 29 stone teen if he has a mood swing – and fears he could be sectioned if she doesn’t act now.
The documentary saw Katie’s difficult task in finding a residential college for Harvey which wasn’t too far from home and in which her son felt comfortable in.
It also detailed her anguish at learning to let her son go as she worried whether he could cope without her.
At the forefront of everything was the emotional bond between Katie and Harvey, with the former glamour model clearly devoted to her son, while Harvey’s adoration of his mother was hard to miss.
