Michael McIntyre has ruled himself out of the running to replace Jonathan Ross in the BBC One Friday night slot, the Sun reports. The comedian was the reported favourite to take over from Ross since the controversial chat show host announced he is to leave the BBC. However, insiders say McIntyre has decided not to take up the chance. "He's flattered that he's being touted as a successor as he loves working at the Beeb," a friend explained. "But he'll never take that chat show role. That's not what he wants to do. He's a comedian, not a talk show host. His home is Saturday nights, that's where he does his thing. That's where he prefers to be."Watch handbag.com's exclusive interview with Michael McIntyre.
