Jonathan Ross has announced he is leaving the BBC, after 13 years working for the corporation.
Ross, 49, who is the BBC's highest paid star, said in a statement he had decided not to renegotiate his contract when it ends in July.
The presenter added his decision to leave was not "financially motivated".
In 2008, the controversial host was suspended for making a series of phone calls to actor Andrew Sachs on Russell Brand's Radio 2 show.
Speaking outside his home to reporters, Ross said: "It's probably not a bad time for me to move on - and it's probably not a bad time for the BBC, either.
"I've got six months left, I'm hoping to make the best shows of my career with them."

Well, this certainly came out of no where. I wonder why he chose now? And I wonder what (if anything) he plans to do once he's left the BBC?
