Controversial Olympian Racheal Gunn appears headed for a career in television.

After gaining notoriety for her performance as Raygun during the breakdancing competition at the Paris Olympics last month, the three commercial networks are reportedly looking to sign a deal with her.

A source close to the broadcaster said fans could expect to see the 36-year-old academic on at least one high-profile reality show next year.

“The future of one of the world’s most talked-about Australians, Raygun, is currently in negotiations with multiple television offers,” the source said. Yahoo Lifestyle.

According to the source, the networks do not want to “share” Gunn.

“They are seeking exclusivity deals with networks that could last between 12 and 24 months, blocking other competitive programming opportunities,” they explained.

Describing Gunn as one of the “most sought-after names” in Australia right now, another source said competing networks could end up casting Gunn in a “celebrity” reality show like SAS Australia or Dancing with the Stars.

They added: “Several talent agents have been following the viral superstar ever since her memorable dance at the Paris Olympics went viral. The exact direction she will take will be revealed any day now and the network she signs with will be very telling.”

This comes after reports emerged earlier this month that Dancing with the Stars bosses were desperate to sign Gunn for the upcoming season.

Raygun was catapulted to international stardom after failing to score a single point in the Game, having lost all three of her round-robin battles by a combined score of 54-0.

While her performance, which included kangaroo hops and snake-like slithering, didn’t do her much good at the international tournament, DWTS seems excited about what she could bring to the hit dance competition.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, a source close to the event revealed that they are keen to offer the athlete the chance to capitalise on her Olympic disaster and revamp her image to stop being the “ridiculous feat”.

They added that they believe Rachael is a “good fit” and that they would “love to talk” to her.

‘Dancing with the Stars’ has had its share of amazing dancers, horrible dancers, and just plain pop culture over the years and Raygun is now one of its targets for the upcoming season.

‘They are always attentive to people until the last minute and always want to be aware of what people are talking about.

‘That’s why they always go after housewives, people from The Bachelor franchise, political names and, this year, Olympic athletes and the girl Hawk Tuah.

“If they think someone could provide the qualifications, they will consider it.”

The TV insider said all three of Australia's commercial networks are pursuing Gunn's talent with exclusive contracts.

The source added: ‘People are extending their fifteen minutes on Dancing with the Stars, and when it comes to Raygun, producers would love to talk to her and see if she would be a good fit for next season.

‘Dancing with the Stars loves to be the show where people redeem themselves and this could be the perfect way for Rachael to stop being a laughing stock.

‘The dance is going to make an offer.’

The exciting Dancing with the Stars development comes after a marketing expert predicted that Raygun is set to make millions thanks to her newfound fame.

This comes after reports emerged earlier this month that Dancing with the Stars bosses were desperate to sign Gunn for the upcoming season.
