For now, Ross will be freelance. And that American TV thing is just another rumor, I think.

There has been rumors to that as well.

Just a bit of trivia: Ross is the best paid presenter at BBC. He made £6 million annually!

Well Ross kinda admitted that he wanted to break into American showbusiness.

For me it's good news.

I agree! I never really liked Ross. I liked him even less with that stunt he pulled off with Brand.

Oh no! Who will host BAFTA this year?

I remember Ross saying on air that he would gladly take a 50% pay cut.

I guess he was getting desperate at that point!

Ross will still be around for special events. But of course, somebody of Ross' caliber, I am sure that he will get new offers from other channels.

Interesting. How someone as big as Ross could actually be sacked!
