Frank, 59, who is bipolar, has been a campaigner on mental health since retiring in 1996.
A source said: “Frank’s flattered to be asked. He has strong views on what is going on in the world.
“He is also not at all woke, so he might be quite a lively guest – which I am sure is what the BBC want.
“But his team are a bit worried he might be a touch too blunt and forthright.”

Bosses at Question Time – which is screened on BBC1 on Thursday nights – last year angrily denied that ratings were plummeting.
It was claimed one episode of the show last October, which switched to a virtual audience at the start of the pandemic, had attracted just 620,000 viewers.
The BBC declined to comment.
