Soapstar Superstar winner Antony Cotton has impressed all the right people at ITV this week.

Late last year plans for a new chat show hosted by Bradley Walsh were scrapped after a dire pilot episode, but it appears that ITV have now found their man!

An insider said: “Antony is a great performer, a natural showman.

“The amount of public support for him was amazing and made everyone realise just how many fans he has.”
