'Celebrity Love Island' rivals Abi Titmuss and Jayne Middlemiss are set to battle it out to present the new series.

The sexy stars - who fell out over hunky footballer Lee Sharpe on the reality show - reportedly both want to replace stunning Kelly Brook as the programme's female host alongside Patrick Kielty.

Sources claim former 'O-Zone' presenter Jayne and glamour girl Abi are now set to come face-to-face when they meet with ITV bosses to audition for the job.

An insider told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Jayne has more experience in front of the cameras but Abi is a bigger hit with the male viewers."

The two babes started off as friends when they first jetted out to Fiji for 'Celebrity Love Island'.

But their relationship soon soured when they both fancied Lee, who is now dating Abi.

Jayne even branded Abi a "big fat slag" and said: "I want to crunch her face in."

The pair have not spoken to each other since returning to the UK two months ago.
