Jonathan Ross has told the Guardian that he "can't wait" to leave the BBC this July. Ross opted not to renew his contract last year and admitted he felt "relief" after deciding to leave. "The whole place has changed quite dramatically. The people running it are always trying to second-guess what the newspapers will say," Ross admitted before discussing the furore around the Andrew Sachs phone calls. "In a way, the whole experience has been quite fun. It was literally within about four days of it all kicking off that I just thought, you know what, there's no way I can control this. It was weird watching people get themselves into a lather over something so intrinsically unimportant." Jonathan was suspended from his TV and radio show for three months after he and Russell Brand left lewd messages on Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs phone during a radio show. BBC Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas and Russell Brand both resigned from the station following the scandal.
