Bleakley: 'I won't choose new co-host'

Christine Bleakley has insisted that she has no input into the search for Adrian Chiles's One Show replacement.

Last month, it was claimed that the presenter would make the final decision over Chiles's successor because the programme's producers wanted to keep her happy.

However, speaking to the Daily Express about the hunt for her new co-host, Bleakley insisted: "I don't get a say - but we have to get on and work on screen."

She added: "Every day I hear a new name, but it's not decided yet."

Last week, it was reported that comedian Jason Manford was being lined up for the post.

Others said to be in the frame include Nick Hancock, Matt Allwright and Richard Hammond.
