It might not be ITV1's biggest show, but Harry Hill's TV Burp is the best programme on the roster. While The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent grab all the headlines, TV Burp is a refreshing dose of real quality from a broadcaster that has been irrelevant for too many years. However, Hill and ITV may well be parting ways in a deal that could bag Harry a handsome £3million.
The Guardian are reporting that Harry Hill is currently in negotiations with BSkyB which will see the comedian leaving ITV and moving to satellite.
TV Burp has landed several Bafta TV awards and is now part of a deal that could see Hill fronting a number of other shows, on top of the ITV favourite which 6 million of us watch every week.
Hill's contract with ITV ends in April and for a while, there's been a lot of speculation (we first reported it back in May) that he could move to a better-paying gig.
A move to Sky would be a real shame as, for the millions who don't have a Sky subscription (this writer included), we'll have to wave goodbye to one of the funniest shows on television.
Neither BSkyB or ITV is willing to make a comment thus far.
