It’s official; Jonathan Ross is making the leap from the BBC over to ITV after signing a deal to present a new chat show for the broadcaster.
BBC News reports that the cheeky presenter will begin the series late next year, with ITV hoping to schedule it on Friday night’s or Saturdays after The X-Factor.
On the move Wossy said: “I am thrilled and excited that after a short break I will be rolling up my sleeves and creating a brand new show for ITV1.
“I have worked successfully with most of the key figures at the network in the past and cannot wait to get back on screen with a fast, funny and unpredictable new talk show.”
He added: “I do have a little spare time at the beginning of 2011 though, so if England needs a temporary new manager I will consider the post seriously. Thank you.”
Oh you jester.
David Beckham, Jackie Chan and Roxy Music are the confirmed guests for the final edition of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 16th July.
Ross also finishes his Radio 2 show this month with Patrick Kielty keeping things ticking over until Graham Norton takes over full time in October.
