POP star Siva Kaneswaran and Hollyoaks actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter are being lined up for the next series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The pair have been in talks with producers from the hit Channel 4 show for weeks.
Insiders said The Wanted singer Siva and soap star Kirsty, both 33, were sure-fire signings.
A source said: “Siva and Kirsty-Leigh are both sure-fire signings for the next instalment of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
“They have done their fitness assessments and are well on their way to signing on the dotted line for the show.
“Matt is a big name for SAS but ultimately they know they can also tempt a younger audience with Siva and Kirsty-Leigh.

“Gareth Gates is also on the line-up for the next series so it’s a real mix of characters.
“Kirsty-Leigh became a mum for the first time last year and is looking to really challenge herself away from Hollyoaks. Whereas Siva has been through a lot with the death of his bandmate Tom Parker.
“He thinks the show will be an incredible experience and is doing it in Tom’s memory.”
Last week The Sun exclusively revealed how Matt Hancock MP had been asked to take part on the show.

Insiders revealed the fitness mad politician had also been in talks and had impressed the production staff.
A source said: “Matt impressed Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins producers when he spoke to them and they want him to take part.
“He would be the biggest name to have signed up for the next series and it would be a real coup for the show.
“Matt knows there is a mixed perception of him in the public eye and he thinks going on the show would reveal a different side to himself.
“It is not unusual for MPs to take part in these kinds of shows and Matt thinks he could go far on SAS, despite it being the hardest of all the reality series on television.”
