Matthew Kelly has decided to quit as host of Stars in their Eyes after eleven years to pursue a career in acting.

The 53-year-old had planned to announce his departure during Saturday's live final but was worried it may overshadow the winner.

Cat Deeley - presenter of the celebrity version of the show - is now expected to replace Kelly at the helm.

Kelly, who received huge public support after being cleared of child sex allegations last year, won the Olivier 'Best Actor' award for his role in London play Of Mice and Men last month.
