Meh. That's debatable, really. I personally don't care much for him.

I hope so!

I don't know either of them... but I know it's hard to beat Chris Tarrant! ;D

[millionairefan64]

It's really hard to beat Chris. However I think they're changing hosts and moving the show to daytime because to boost up ratings. I believe that's what the US did when the show moved the syndication almost 10 years ago.

I'm not entirely sure this is true. It looks like someone just stuck this news bit on Sharon's Wikipedia page with no source to back up the claim.

This is likely true. I went on Google News and the only mention anywhere was off a small article about the X-Factor, and even that article states it's a persistent rumor.

Another thing that struck me was that BBC, not ITV, is reportedly the network behind the series.

I'm not saying it could never happen, but this looks an awful lot like wishful thinking to me.

The BBC, you mean!
