Oti, who completed the terrifying Tanks of Torture trial with DJ Melvin Odoom to earn all 12 stars, could also team up with McFly’s Danny Jones, 38, for a new project.
Richard, 62, praised Oti after their jungle heart-to-heart, saying: ‘Oti’s frank, candid, and generous, so you feel like you can be the same in return.’
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph after his chat with Oti, Richard said: ‘I love Oti. We know each other — we did Strictly together. Oti knew David, my late partner.
‘And it’s a difficult conversation to have sometimes. But I think when someone is frank and candid and open with you, and generous, then be frank and open and candid and generous back.’
This wouldn’t be Oti’s first time fronting a show, as she has previously hosted Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show on ITV.
MailOnline has contacted Oti’s representative for comment.
The news comes after Oti and Melvin Odoom bagged the series’ first full house of 12 stars during Friday’s Bushtucker Trial, Tanks of Terror.
After hosts Ant and Dec revealed campmates could now decide amongst themsleves who would take on the task, the ex Strictly star, 34, volunteered alongside Barry McGuigan, 63.

Full of praise, Ant said: ‘You can now call yourselves the new king and queen of the Bushtucker Trial!’
However the boxer graciously swapped places with the DJ, 44, who had yet undertaken a trail and as the pair left for the clearing joked he was ‘off to bed for a nap’.
Oti and Melvin were placed inside giant tanks had were forced to work together to free stars for meals for camp, as huge spiders crawled across their faces.
The tanks of water were gradually filled with the likes of mud crabs, eels, crocodiles and water dragons, while their head bubbles were filled with spiders and snakes.
They seemingly had very different tactics to endure the critics and while Melvin closed his eyes and hummed, Oti squealed in horror, never the less the pair managed to win 12 stars for camp with just 5 seconds to go before the klaxon sounded.
Finally having her head bubble removed Oti was able to open her mouth and scream, while a delighted Melvin gave Geordie duo Ant and Dec a high five.
