Ant And Dec To Quit ITV After Row?

ITV boss' comments upset them...

Sunday 21st Oct 2007

Ant and Dec are set to quit Britain for America after a furious row with ITV boss Michael Grade this week.

Following crisis talks over the phone vote scandal, Ant and Dec reacted furiously to Grade's description of their executive producers role on hit show Saturday Night Takeaway as a "vanity credit".

A source tells the News Of The World, "It's been a very difficult time with many angry discussions. Ant and Dec were very disappointed with Michael and still are."

According to the report Ant and Dec will quit the show after the next series to concentrate on cracking America instead, despite the fact they recently signed a £27 million deal tying them to ITV until 2009.

This now opens a new venture for Michael Barrymore to return to prime time TV, this hugely popular man and entertainer is solely missed by me and all his fans. I never really liked Ant and Dec so step out of the way Ant and Dec and let our Michael take the helm, he is the king of Saturday night entertainment

You clearly know nothing about television. Ant and Dec are pure professionals, they knew nothing about this awful scamming and are upset and appalled by it. don't you dare say they should step out of the way they are what family entertainment is about.

Well ITV have had their commupence and being find lots of money, no it wasn't "Ant and Decs fault. ITV were not registering it when people phoned in for these competions, another words it was all a hoax. Still we know ITV don't we? Hook, line and sinker. I will never forgive them on another matter. There is nothing but tripe on now, still I go out performing so don't care unless its Michael that appears.
