Dermot O'Leary has reportedly signed a deal to move to the BBC in order to host a new lottery game show.

The presenter will host '1 vs 100', a quiz show setting one individual against 100 other contestants competing against them.

Although the 33-year-old has worked on 'Big Brother' for five years, he has reportedly become disillusioned with the lack of new opportunities offered to him at Channel 4.

A source told the Mirror newspaper: "It's fair to say Dermot has been eclipsed on 'Big Brother' by the fever surrounding Russell Brand, who presents the other spin-off show 'Big Mouth'. He wants to spread his wings so he's really excited to be doing the lottery. It's a fresh challenge."
