Oh dear

Plans for a new Jonathan Ross chatshow on Channel 4 have reportedly been put on hold.

The deal was believed to have been worth £10m and would have seen Ross present 20 chatshows a year for Channel 4.

However, the broadcaster has shelved the project because of the imminent arrival of a new chief executive, reports Media Guardian.

The site claims that the station’s new boss David Abraham feels that signing Ross would be a retrograde step for the channel.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: “We continue to talk to Jonathan about working together.”

Jonathan Ross will quit his BBC shows this summer after 13 years with the corporation.

It is reported that neither ITV nor BSkyB are interested in signing the star.
