Robert Irwin set to land huge role as he shapes up to become the most sought-after TV star in Australia

He's one of the hottest properties on Australian TV right now and insiders say Robert Irwin is at the centre of an all-out network bidding war.

Sources say Network Ten is lining up the rising star to front a rebooted Australian Ninja Warrior as part of a major push to lock him in across multiple flagship shows. 

'Robert is exactly what Ten needs right now,' an insider tells Daily Mail, saying the network wants the conservationist, 22, working on more than just I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 

'He's relatable, he's got that natural charm and audiences absolutely love him.'

Behind the scenes, negotiations are said to already be underway, with the network keen to position the Wildlife Warrior as the new face of Ten.

'They want him across the board,' the source adds. 'If these deals land, Robert becomes their biggest asset.'

However, it would seem other networks have the same idea, with some of Ten's biggest competitors already looking to poach the in-demand star.  

Insiders claim Seven Network has plans to secure Robert as the future host of Dancing With The Stars, following his win on the US version of the series.

'Seven sees huge potential in him,' the insider reveals. 'They think he could take DWTS into a new era.'

DWTS Australia is currently being hosted by Sonia Kruger and Dr Chris Brown. 

The competing offers have left Robert weighing up multiple opportunities and sources say the decision won't be easy.

'He's incredibly loyal, but these are two very different paths,' says the insider. 'He'd thrive in both worlds.'

Meanwhile, Network Ten is said to be lining up back-up plans in case Robert gets a better offer and turns down a spot hosting the Ninja Warrior reboot. 

Insiders say Beau Ryan is being considered as a potential fallback option - a safe bet given his sporting career and hosting gig on The Amazing Race Australia.

'Beau is a safe pair of hands and already proven with audiences,' the source explains. 'But Robert is their first choice, no question.' 

The source goes on to say Ten are desperate to keep Robert on the books after seeing how popular he has become on I'm A Celebrity. 

'They don't want to lose him,' the insider says. 'Not now, not when he's just getting started.'

Daily Mail has reached out to Ten and Seven for comment.  

It comes as Robert has also been filming a spin-off series of DWTS, called Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro, in Brisbane

Production on the anticipated Disney/BBC series, which Robert will host, is now well underway after two weeks of shooting.

Meanwhile, Robert's former DWTS partner, Witney Carson, is also expected to be a part of the production, with her arrival in Australia imminent.

Her involvement is expected to bring a touch of international polish to the series, with the pair already sharing a strong on-screen connection from their previous stint together.

The new series is set to blend high-stakes competition with behind-the-scenes access, as contestants live and train together in a format reminiscent of Big Brother.
