Harry fronts variety show

Harry Hill is to front a new variety show for ITV.

The comic will record a pilot episode next month in the hope of getting a prime-time slot.

Channel 4 dropped his cult show last year, amid fears ratings were not high enough.
Reports at the time said ITV were ready to offer him a Saturday night show in a £3miliion deal - claims the comic denied.

The All New Harry Hill Show promises "top guests from the world of international showbusiness, full showband The Harrys and Britain's most popular blue cat, Stouffer".
