Travis Kelce ‘the perfect host’ for ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity’ as an insider reveals Taylor’s boyfriend has made a brilliant first impression during filming

Travis Kelce is already making a strong early impression at the filming of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity’ thanks to his hosting skills.

The three-time Super Bowl winner, who is dating Taylor Swift, has started filming for the show – a reboot of Are Your Smarter than a 5th Grader – and the Kansas City Chiefs star has apparently taken to presenting with ease.

US Weekly quoted a source as saying: ‘He’s funny and has the wits for it. He’s the perfect host. It’s a great gig for him.’

The 34-year-old Kelce has some practice when it comes to hosting given that he presents his own New Heights podcast with his older brother Jason.

He also hosted his own Saturday Night Live episode, several months before he met girlfriend Swift, as well as his own dating show years ago called ‘Catching Kelce

He has made no secret that once his playing days are over, he would like to move into roles behind the camera.

Speaking before the Super Bowl in February, Kelce told reporters in Las Vegas: ”ll dabble into everything just to see if I have fun doing it.

‘And I know there’s definitely Hollywood talks out there but I’ve been focused on football throughout the season so I’ll probably have a lot of those meetings and conversations when it is all said and done.’

He has spent the last few weeks based in Los Angeles with Swift, after the loved-up couple returned from a romantic getaway in the Bahamas.

It was reported recently that Kelce agreed to host his new television show before his romance with Swift sparked his explosion in fame.

But even if there is a suggestion that Kelce now might have been able to land a bigger gig, it sounds like he is making a strong early start in his new job.

Kelce’s re-boot will be aired on the paid streaming service Amazon Prime Video.

The new format will feature contestants facing off against a group of three celebrities, rather than the previous panel of children in grade school.

When Kelce returns to preseason, he and his Kansas City teammates will be lining up a shot at an historic third Super Bowl triumph.

They went back-to-back last season, beating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas,

And the year before, Travis beat his brother Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles.
