Other potential candidates include Family Feud host, Grant Denyer, who recently revealed that he was in talks with the network prime time hosting projects.

The TV personality is a hit with viewers, having already snagged a Logie nomination for Most Popular Presenter.

Also in the running to host the spelling extravaganza is new-mum-to-Evie,The Project’s Carrie Bickmore. The experienced-journalist would be a hit with the kids and viewers alike, with a Gold Logie nomination under her belt and having already hosted So You Think You Can Dance Australia.

The Great Australian Spelling Beewill be a welcomed return, especially after the success of Ten’s 2007 show,Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
