Gloria Hunniford has revealed her dislike for Jonathan Ross's interview technique.

The 68-year-old TV and radio host criticised Ross for using his BBC show as a vehicle for his own bawdy sense of humour.

She told TV Times magazine: "I do get a bit annoyed with some of the new chat shows.

"Take Jonathan Ross. I like his show but he uses his guests as a tool for his own humour, whereas Parky would try to learn about them.

"That's the type of interview I like best. If you have a major Hollywood star as a guest, you want to hear about them rather than just talking about sex all the time."

Parkinson previously claimed that retiring from his ITV chatshow meant "the end of polite conversation". He also referred to Ross and Graham Norton's programmes as "comedy shows".
