Alan Davies has claimed Stephen Fry quit his hosting role on QI due to budget cuts that made him feel “overworked”.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Davies, who appeared with Fry on the BBC show for 13 years, said that Fry had begun doing “three shows in 24 hours”.
Fry announced that he would step down as host of the BBC Two comedy quiz in October 2015.
“In front of the camera, generations of lively minds and above all of course the wonder of nature that is Alan Davies.”
