ITV have confirmed that Jonathan Ross will be joining them to present a new chatshow from 2011, the former BBC frontman will formulate the 18 part programme with ITV. The chatshow is expected to follow the X Factor to capitalise on high viewing figures.

Jonathan Ross released this statement saying, "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 talkshow".

The ITV deal is expected to net Ross a cool £1m, a huge drop from the £6m a year at the BBC but more in line with expectations given the current wage squeeze in the media.
