Michael McIntyre signs £1/2million BBC deal

Michael McIntyre has signed a deal with the BBC which is set to earn him up to half a million a year as the corporation lines up a replacement for Jonathan Ross.

In a deal which bars the comedian from working with any other channel, McIntyre is set to reap the rewards of increased exposure that the BBC can bring.

It is thought that the comedian will perform a show which is similar to his current Comedy Roadshow format.

A BBC source said: 'He will be doing a Comedy Roadshow and has said he is not going to do anything else.

'What the situation will be in a year's time I don't know. But he is not going anywhere.'

McIntyre has shot to fame last year when his DVD Live and Laughing became the fastest selling comedy DVD of all time.

Both McIntyre and Ross are represented by Off The Kerb.
