Adrian Chiles is quitting BBC One’s early evening magazine programme, The One Show, for a new four-year deal with ITV.

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.
