John Bishop quits BBC chat show because of Graham Norton

John Bishop has revealed that he’s quit his BBC chat show because of the stiff competition in the field.

Bishop hailed Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross, who host their respective chat shows, as “brilliant”, adding: “We really don’t need another chat show.”

Norton has hosted his BBC chat show since 2007 while Ross, who previously hosted his own series on the BBC, started presenting The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV in 2011.
