Pippa Middleton is said to be on the verge of becoming a television correspondent for America’s Today show.

According to reports in the US, the Duchess of Cambridge’s 31-year-old sister has been in “serious talks” for months to appear on the programme, which is similar to ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

Although bosses at NBC have been quick to play down the rumours, insiders claimed Pippa was recently sent to Utah to do a screen test.

She is no stranger to the show after appearing as a guest in June when she was interviewed by Matt Lauer.

The interview, conducted in London, proved a ratings winner and allegedly sparked producers interest in pursuing Pippa further.

US media reports she would cover such issues a health and well being which she regularly writes about but would not report on the Royal Family.

Sources close to NBC claim it has been made clear the subject is “deemed strictly off-limits”.

It is not the first time the socialite has been linked to NBC however.

In 2012, it was reported that NBC would offer Pippa £400,000 to be a royal correspondent but this was denied by the network.

In her interview with Lauer - her first ever TV appearance - Pippa gave a rare insight in to her relationship with the Duchess saying they were very close.
