Presenter to move to ITV

ADRIAN CHILES is quitting BBC1’s The One Show for a new four-year deal with ITV, it was announced yesterday.

The presenter — who was said to be unhappy at Chris Evans being drafted in to host the Friday night edition of his early evening show — will front GMTV and present ITV football coverage.

And he blasted the decision to tinker with The One Show: “I would have been happy to stay at the BBC doing the same shows on the same terms, especially The One Show, of which I am so proud, having worked on it since the first pilots four years ago.
