Jacqueline Jossa 'in talks' for Our Girl

Jacqueline Jossa is "in talks" to replace Michelle Keegan in \'Our Girl\'.

The \'I\'m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!\' winner and former \'EastEnders\' star is reportedly in discussions about taking on the lead role in the BBC One show.

A source told The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre TV column: "Jacque­line is keen to replace Michelle on Our Girl and has been encouraged to go for it by her former colleague and pal Lacey. And bosses at the Beeb want a mainstream signing and feel the Queen Of The Jungle fits the bill perfectly. The series hasn\'t yet been greenlit, nor any contracts sign­ed, but she\'s in a good position to bag it if it all goes ahead. A lot of projects, both screen and stage, have been keen to discuss Jacqueline."

Michelle stepped back in her role as Army medic Georgie Lane after four years.

She said recently: "I\'ve had the most incredible four years on the show and I want to thank the BBC for giving me such an amazing opportunity. Playing Georgie has been a life changing role for me. I\'ve loved every second of the adventure so it was a very hard decision to make not to return. I feel it is the right time to explore other exciting opportunities but I\'m so happy to be part of the new series coming soon so it\'s not the end just yet. I\'ve come from a very strong line of women, my grandma was very strong, my mum was very strong. It sort of makes sense that these women are part of me and it\'s given me that oomph to go forward and represent strong women even more so."

Meanwhile, Jacqueline previously insisted she wouldn\'t rule says out a return to \'EastEnders\' "one day" - but is hoping to land a musical theatre role next.

Asked if she would return to the BBC One soap, she said: "Maybe one day, I would never, ever say never. I got thrown off a building, and I hobbled off with a walking stick. She\'s somewhere, I think she might be in New Zealand. I loved it there, it was amazing."
