Is Danny Cohen, Controller BBC1, in danger of ending up with more vacancies than George Entwistle ? After the news that Sir Tom Jones and Jessie J have decided that a second go at The Voice is not what they want, The Sun reports that Noel Edmonds has opted out of fronting a new Saturday night format, to be produced by Endemol (who brought you the inclusive, caring Total Wipeout).
Noel is said to have filmed a pilot for the show, in which members of the public assume the role of celebrity bodyguards, and then are required to undertake "madcap" challenges.
The chilling element of the report comes from an "insider"; "The BBC and producers Endemol were really keen for Noel to do the show. But he filmed the pilot on the basis that he would only do a full series if he thought it was amazing, different and exciting — and he didn’t feel that."
Cripes, if it's not exciting enough for Noel....
