Keoghan's profile is being used in the television campaign for the Australian version of the hit reality show. This led to speculations that the New Zealand native will host the show. Channel Seven is yet to confirm or deny these speculations.

Reports say that there's a chance that the Emmy winner will have a participation in the Australian Amazing Race. Just what this participation will be remains unclear. Keoghan has hosted the US series since its inception.

Apparently, the hosting job is still open. Dancing with the Star's Daniel MacPherson and Seven's Grant Denyer are said to be included in the list of those considered for the hosting role.

Earlier this month, Channel Seven had announced that the show is scheduled to begin production later this year. The reality show involves couples racing each other through destinations all over the world for the chance to win $1 million. However, for its Australian version, the prize is yet to be confirmed but reports say its "massive."

The Amazing Race Australia is now accepting applications for teams of two. The pairs must have a pre-existing relationship and be over the age of 18. Applications close on September 6.
