Adrian Chiles is quitting the BBC for a move to ITV believed to be worth around £1 million a year.

The TV presenter will now front GMTV and present ITV's football coverage after signing a four-year deal with the channel.

The 43-year-old has blasted the BBC for tinkering with the line-up for The One Show after Chris Evans was drafted in to host the Friday night edition of the programme.

Chiles was on holiday last week when the news that Evans was joining the show to present a new extended Friday edition was confirmed.

He fired a parting shot in the BBC's direction as he announced his move.

He said: "I would have been happy to stay at the BBC doing the same shows on the same terms, especially The One Show, of which I am so proud, having worked on it since the first pilots four years ago.

"It's no secret how disappointed I was by the Controller's decision to change an apparently successful and well-loved show at this stage, but fully respect her right to do so and sincerely wish her and the brilliant One Show team well with it."

Chiles's new deal is an exclusive contract and means he will lead ITV's World Cup coverage in June, including England's two peak-time opening games.
