Jonathan Ross, a well-known chat show host, may soon be making a comeback on the BBC show The Traitors. The 63-year-old, who previously hosted Friday Night With Jonathan Ross for nine years, left the BBC in 2010 after causing controversy on his Radio 2 show with the Andrew Sachs scandal. However, after 14 years, he is now rumored to be returning to the network for a rare appearance on a celebrity edition of the popular game show.
According to an insider, Ross is the ideal choice for The Traitors producers as he is a high-profile celebrity who is not usually seen on reality TV. He is also a fan of the show, along with many other well-known stars. The celebrity version of The Traitors is set to start filming next year and will be hosted by Claudia Winkleman.
Ross was a familiar face on the BBC for nine years before his departure in 2010. The possibility of his return was hinted at by the show's boss, Stephen Lambert, who stated that it would be "entertaining" to have him on the show. However, Ross faced backlash in 2008 and was suspended for 12 weeks after making crude jokes on his radio show with Russell Brand. He left the BBC, and his talk show, two years later.
The controversial incident involved Sachs' granddaughter and was described as "deeply hurtful" by the actor. Ross briefly returned to the airwaves a decade ago to cover for Steve Wright but has not made a TV appearance since leaving the BBC. He stated that his decision to resign was not financially motivated and that he had chosen not to renegotiate his contract with the network.
After moving to ITV, Ross is now teasing a possible reality TV project while confirming the return of his talk show and the popular singing competition The Masked Singer. Fans of the charismatic host will be delighted to hear his voice and see him back on their screens. The Agency has contacted Ross' representative for comment on his potential return to the BBC. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can reach out to The Agency's entertainment team via email, phone, or their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
