Ross, 63, was one of the corporation’s biggest stars thanks to his BBC1 talk show, which ran from 2001 to 2010, before moving to ITV.
A TV insider said: “Jonathan is the ideal target for The Traitors producers because he’s a high-profile celebrity who doesn’t regularly appear on the reality TV circuit.
“He’s also one of a small army of stars who are self-confessed fans of the show.”
A controversial broadcast on Ross’s Radio 2 show in October 2008 led to him being suspended for 12 weeks without pay and saw comedian Brand resign from the corporation.
There was uproar when he and comedian Russell Brand joked about sleeping with late Fawlty Towers actor Sachs’s granddaughter Georgina Baillie.
Jonathan, a guesser on ITV’s The Masked Singer since 2020, this week said his chat show will return next year, which is when the celeb version of The Traitors will be filmed.
He said: “I’m still doing the talk show.
“That’s coming back next year.
“I’m doing Masked Singer again.
“I might be doing a reality type thing if I can get all the dates to work.”

The BBC declined to comment.
