Hamish Blake and Andy Lee have reportedly agreed to sign a new television contract with Channel Nine.

The Australian comedy duo, who have appeared on Rove McManus's chatshow and presented a radio slot together in the past, have allegedly been offered $17 million (£10.5 million) to produce 15 hours worth of TV via their production company.

The pair's representative Mark Klemens told The Daily Telegraph: "I can't comment on the dollar aspect only to say that what has been speculated is not right at all and so far the deal with Nine really hasn't been finalised.

"But I think you could say that every network has shown interest in Hamish and Andy and there has been plenty of international interest as well."

It is rumoured that Blake and Lee will sign their deals with Nine this Friday.
