Christine Bleakley takes off with Adrian Chiles (...as far as the airport, that is) | Daily Mail Online Christine Bleakley takes off with Adrian Chiles (...as far as the airport, that is) comments It is a chore most men would try to avoid. But TV host Adrian Chiles appeared happy to give co-presenter Christine Bleakley an early morning lift to Gatwick Airport for a flight to Spain. The One Show presenter dutifully turned up at 7.45am at Miss Bleakley’s West London flat on Thursday. A few minutes later, she appeared with a large suitcase in one hand and a set of hair straighteners in the other. Is there anything he wouldn't do for his glamorous co-star? Adrian Chiles helps Christine Bleakley with her luggage as he prepares to take her to the airport The usually immaculately dressed presenter looked bleary-eyed as she struggled down the steps with her luggage to the car. Miss Bleakley was casually dressed in a red T-shirt and cropped jeans and carried a large black handbag. On her wedding finger was the wide platinum ring which sparked rumours six months ago that she had married fiance Mark Beirne.

The One Show star Christine leaves her home in west London for a long weekend in Spain with friends But Miss Bleakley admitted she had bought the ring herself from jeweller Tiffany and within weeks Mr Beirne had broken off their engagement. Miss Bleakley, 30, watched as Chiles hauled the heavy suitcase on to the back seat, before they drove off to Gatwick. After dropping Miss Bleakley at the South Terminal, the TV presenter headed off. It was meetings such as this that prompted Mr Beirne, 35, to accuse 42-year-old Chiles of being ‘the third person’ in the split. Yesterday, Miss Bleakley’s agent said: ‘Christine has got a long weekend off and has gone on holiday with friends. 'She has not gone away with Adrian, they are just mates and spend a lot of time together. Her fiance broke off the engagement, not her. ‘The fact that Christine spends so much time with Adrian could have been a contributing factor.

'They work from midday to 8pm on The One Show and all the production team spend a lot of time socialising together.’ Chiles has become a household name, earning £2million for a two-year contract with the BBC. He fronts Match Of The Day, hosted the channel’s Sports Personality Of The Year and presents The Apprentice spin-off You’re Fired! for BBC2. It is not the first time Chiles has arrived at Miss Bleakley’s flat to give her a lift. Last month, he turned up on his £6,000 Honda Transalp only for her to emerge in a tight-fitting black dress and high heels and find she could not scramble on to the motorbike. Giggling, she returned to the house and reappeared in jeans and flip-flops, carrying her dress in a bag. Bleary-eyed (but still beautiful): Christine clutches the accessory she just can't do without... her hair straightening irons Chiles split from his wife of ten years, radio presenter Jane Garvey, 13 months ago. Chiles, from Birmingham, moved out of the couple’s £1.35million marital home in London’s Hammersmith.

Just weeks later, he was seen having a late-night assignation with Miss Bleakley at a basement flat in West London. The pair arrived separately, with father-of-two Chiles appearing first on his motorbike and letting himself in with his own keys. Ten minutes later, he left to get a takeaway from a nearby restaurant. Chiles returned and was joined by Miss Bleakley 20 minutes later. The pair spent an hour in the flat together, before leaving separately. They also enjoy regular meetings at a coffee shop in Notting Hill before they go to the TV studio for midday. Arrivals: Christine is dropped off at Gatwick's south terminal before she jetted off The pair have always denied allegations that they are having an affair. Miss Bleakley had been conducting a long-distance relationship with Mr Beirne since August 2007. But when she moved from Northern Ireland to London to host The One Show, the strain on the relationship showed. When she took part in Strictly Come Dancing last year, Mr Beirne was said to be incensed that the cameras always showed Chiles in the audience, rather than focusing on him.

Both presenters will have a two-week break from the show starting next week, with guest presenters standing in. From September, the 30-minute show will switch to an hour-long format until the end of the year. Daybreak: ITV's morning has broken? | Media | The Guardian Organ Grinder Daybreak: ITV's morning has broken? It has tried to be different from GMTV, and it is, but Daybreak has failed so ITV must admit its mistake, says Peter McHugh Daybreak presenters Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley. Photograph: Harry Borden Peter McHugh Monday 28 March 2011 01.59 EDT First published on Monday 28 March 2011 01.59 EDT Share on Messenger Close When TV-am was launched it was obvious almost immediately that it had the wrong presenters, the wrong set, and the wrong programme. The audience didn't like it. Within six months it was all changed. When GMTV started, nothing had been learned. It too had the wrong set, the wrong presenters and the wrong programme. Again the audience didn't like it and within six months it was changed.

It is six months now since ITV launched its breakfast show Daybreak with new presenters, a spanking new set and new content. The audience doesn't like it. It's time for a change. We are all creatures of habit and never more so than in the morning. Some like a dollop of John Humphrys and the Today programme to frighten them into the day but millions more spent the past 18 years easing their way into the morning via the softer shades of GMTV. News, weather and overnight information, yes, but an extra drop of fun and frolic to soften the blow. Suddenly, over a wet September weekend last year, GMTV disappeared, written out of history like the plot of some novel about the KGB. Its iconic South Bank studio, home to the programme since 1992, was flogged off to al-Jazeera and the sofa was sent to the scrapheap – as were most of the GMTV faces. Now, before we get too dewy-eyed about GMTV, let's acknowledge it was not the programme it had once been.

A dash for cash to keep the shareholders happy, particularly after the debacle of the competition cock-ups of the mid-2000s, had littered the show with too many money-making offers. I should know. I was one of those in charge. GMTV needed a good kick up the bottom. But it could still muster a daily reach of 5 million viewers on a weekday, its website was the envy of ITV and its weekend kids' service regularly appeared in the nation's top 10 children's shows. So why scrap it? The trouble with GMTV was that because it looked easy everyone assumed it was easy and that included its new bosses. Step forward Peter Fincham, director of television at ITV, whose role in what was to follow was pivotal, and his director of daytime, Alison Sharman. Keen to be seen to be getting its own business in order, ITV decided the time had finally come to buy up the shares in GMTV it did not own from Disney, and so it began.

Fincham and Sharman met the production team and presenters and told them there would be a new programme and it was going to be different – more newsy, more serious but most of all more successful – and it would not be called GMTV. GMTV was to be worn down by attrition. First out was long-serving editor Martin Frizell, followed by Penny Smith. Her co-host, John Stapleton, was sidelined. Ben Shepherd took the hint and left. Andrew Castle hung on but finally found out he too was on the list. Even the successful weekend GMTV kids' show was abandoned and its staff got rid of. To replace the departing presenters Fincham hired Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley , disaffected hosts of The One Show, which he had launched in his previous job as BBC1 controller. So now we had two presenters. All that was needed was a programme for them and Fincham had the answer to that: The One Show. All you had to do was change the name, stick a couple of minutes of news and weather at the top of each half-hour and make five versions of The One Show every day.

The new studio with its wonderful views of London opened to rapturous applause, until someone pointed out it was pitch black in the morning for half the year – and always had been. It was obvious within days that Chiles was out of his comfort zone, not a morning person and certainly not the man to start your day with a smile. Bleakley was told to move closer. The audience was not happy. They wanted their old friends back, and they wanted the news and the weather – and not The One Show. They complained so much about the new presenters that audience comments were hidden from the staff, as were the daily demands for a return to what they had known. Staff morale plummeted with the ratings, as did the business. The once-successful website's traffic declined and advertisers found themselves owed millions as the programme failed to deliver on its audience promises. I estimate the underperformance cost ITV £4m in 2010, although ITV says otherwise. So here we are six months in. I'm told by insiders Daybreak is over its programme budget – again denied by ITV –and by my estimation Fincham is paying Chiles and Bleakley more than the combined wage bill of every presenter employed by GMTV.

In the last full week of the independent GMTV in December 2009 its share of individuals was just under 27%, five share points behind BBC Breakfast. More importantly commercially, its audience of housewives was 32.5%, almost twice that of the BBC. Daybreak's individuals share is now about 18.5%, less than half that of BBC Breakfast. Its mums audience share is down 20%. There will apparently be champagne if it hits a 20% individuals share by September. So who cares, say those for whom fiddling with five minutes of the Today programme would be a criminal offence. Well the audience cares, the staff care and the advertisers care. Those who should also really care are the shareholders of ITV – your pension funds – whose bill for this unnecessary episode could be at least £20m, counting all the relaunch costs and lost advertising, sponsorship and competition revenue. TV-am and GMTV only got better when the bosses finally admitted they had got it wrong and started again. ITV has a new chief executive, Adam Crozier. It's now your turn, Adam. Calling the new programme GMTV would be a good start.

• Peter McHugh was director of programmes at GMTV from 1993 to 2010 Christine Bleakley joins Adrian Chiles at ITV | The Week UK Christine Bleakley joins Adrian Chiles at ITV Jun 21, 2010 email Yet another presenter from the BBC's stable of homegrown talent has left the Corporation under a cloud. Christine Bleakley is following her former One Show co-presenter Adrian Chiles to ITV but it is unclear whether she jumped - for a multi-million pound deal at ITV - or was pushed out by an impatient BBC. Bleakley has reportedly ditched the BBC for a three-year deal with ITV that could see her earn £6m. The Corporation is understood to have offered her a £450,000-per-year contract that would have seen her continue to front The One Show, host a new Saturday night programme and play a part in the coverage of the 2012 Olympics. Earlier this month Bleakley, who has become a household name during her three-year stint presenting the primetime BBC1 show, issued a statement saying she was "torn" after receiving "great offers" from both the BBC and ITV.

She promised to make her decision "very soon". But it appears that the BBC lost patience with her. Yesterday it brought the 'will-she-won't-she' saga to an end by announcing that it had withdrawn its offer. "Christine is still unable to make a decision and therefore we have regretfully withdrawn our offer as we have to put the interests of The One Show audience first and the current uncertainty does not allow us to do that," a BBC spokesman said. Two hours later ITV responded by issuing its own statement, saying it had signed an exclusive three-year deal with Bleakley. The move will see her reunited with Adrian Chiles on the GMTV breakfast show couch. She will also present other prime-time ITV shows. Bleakley recently split with her long-term agent John Noel which fuelled speculation that she planned to join Chiles at GMTV. In April Chiles stunned the BBC by defecting to ITV. He is currently fronting its World Cup coverage.

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley exit Daybreak - Telegraph TV and Radio Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley exit Daybreak Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley are furious at being dumped from Daybreak after ITV bosses demanded an overhaul of the ailing breakfast show. Chiles and Bleakley failed to win favour with viewers when they moved to ITV Photo: REX By Anita Singh , Showbusiness Editor 7:00AM GMT 21 Nov 2011 Follow The pair were informed last week that their services are no longer required on the programme, which has proved to be a ratings flop. They will be replaced as presenters in the New Year. Both are said to be furious at the manner of their departure. The news was leaked despite private assurances that Chiles and Bleakley could make an announcement “with dignity intact”. Bleakley made her feelings known via Twitter, telling her followers: “Morning, what a lovely headline to wake up to. My sarcasm comes across in this tweet I hope”.

Chiles was said to be “angry, upset and acutely embarrassed”, although his spokesman denied that he had confided: “Dark forces have leaked it for their own ends and I am mightily unhappy about it.” Sources said the pair were victims of "political manouevring” within ITV and claimed that Daybreak’s problems could not be blamed on the presenters, who were keen to continue on the sofa and believed that they were turning the programme’s fortunes around. Related Articles Christine Bleakley ordered to dress down to win back Daybreak viewers 24 Jan 2011 An insider said: “They are both totally committed to Daybreak but there is stuff going on behind the scenes. Daybreak would make a very interesting case study.” The direction of the programme has been the source of continued debate, with some executives wanting it to tackle more serious news and others arguing that it should concentrate on entertainment. A new editor, David Kermode, takes over on December 1. It is understood that he took the role on condition that he could bring in some fresh faces. Natasha Kaplinsky has been linked to the job, although her spokesman denied that she had been approached.

Other names in the frame include Chris Hollins, the BBC Breakfast sports presenter, amd former GMTV host Eamonn Holmes. Kate Garraway and Dan Lobb, currently part of the Daybreak team, could see their roles boosted, while Helen Fospero is said to have impressed bosses when she appeared as a guest presenter recently. Chiles and Bleakley defected from the BBC to ITV last year. Their huge pay deals - £6 million for Chiles over four years, and £4 million for Bleakley - also encompassed other work for the channel, but Daybreak was the main focus. It was hoped they would replicate the chemistry that made them a winning double act on the BBC’s The One Show, but Daybreak proved less popular than its predecessor GMTV. Ratings slumped to 600,000, less than half those of the programme’s BBC Breakfast rival. Audience research found that viewers considered Chiles to be “too grumpy” for the breakfast sofa, while Bleakley’s “Wag” status - she is engaged to Frank Lampard, the Chelsea and England footballer - alienated female audiences.

Chiles appeared to agree with some of the criticism, saying: “I don’t really do chirpiness. Christine does. I can’t bear the sight of myself in the morning. I wouldn’t want to wake up with me.” Last night, ITV said that the pair would remain with the channel. Chiles will continue to present football coverage and That Sunday Night Show, which returns for a third series in January. Bleakley is to become the new co-host of Dancing On Ice, replacing Holly Willoughby. ITV refused to deny that the pair had been sacked. A spokesman said: “We are not going to comment on speculation.” Christine Bleakley to leave BBC for ITV - BBC News BBC News Christine Bleakley to leave BBC for ITV 21 June 2010 Image caption Christine Bleakley's future has been the subject of much speculation Christine Bleakley's future has been the subject of much speculation What does this mean for the BBC? BBC television presenter Christine Bleakley will leave The One Show to join ITV and her former co-host Adrian Chiles, ITV has announced. She has agreed a three-year deal to present a breakfast show with Chiles and prime time entertainment shows.

The announcement came after the BBC said it had withdrawn an offer for Bleakley to stay, saying she had been "unable to make a decision". Mr Chiles left The One Show in April over changes to the show's format. At the time he said he was disappointed that the BBC had added BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans to the presenting team on Fridays, replacing Chiles. Chiles is now fronting ITV's football coverage and is due to begin hosting a revamped breakfast show, in place of GMTV. Announcing her move on Sunday after three years on The One Show, Bleakley said: "It is with regret that this experience is coming to an end. "I have been torn between working with Adrian Chiles and remaining at the BBC. I fully understand the BBC had to move more swiftly than I could, and as a result they've managed to help make my mind up for me." 'Unique partnership' ITV director of television, Peter Fincham, said he was "thrilled" at Bleakley's move. "It's great that she'll be reunited with Adrian Chiles and their unique and brilliant partnership will be at the heart of our new-look breakfast show from this autumn.

"Christine will also become a familiar face to ITV peak-time audiences. We can't wait to get started." Earlier, the BBC had said it was putting "the interests of The One Show audience first and the current uncertainty does not allow us to do that". Image caption Adrian Chiles is due to anchor a revamped GMTV on ITV The BBC said it had been in discussions with Bleakley about her new contract ever since she told the corporation in April she wanted to be part of a relaunched The One Show following Chiles's departure. "With that in mind we made a full and final offer to her several weeks ago and made it clear we would not be entering into a bidding war with other channels," the BBC said. "Christine is still unable to make a decision and therefore we have regretfully withdrawn our offer as we have to put the interests of The One Show audience first and the current uncertainty does not allow us to do that," it added. Bleakley had explained in an unusual move last week that she was trying to decide whether to accept offers from the BBC or ITV, making it clear she could rejoin Chiles if she chose to. Celebrities do not normally say anything about contract negotiations until a deal is signed.

'Brilliant relationship' At the time, she said of her and Chiles: "We have a brilliant relationship on and off screen, although I can't say I'd particularly relish the idea of dealing with him at 5am every morning. "On the other hand the BBC is incredibly good to me and I'm very close to everyone on The One Show, which I love presenting. The BBC's plans for The One Show are very exciting." MPs got involved when it was reported that the BBC had offered her a £900,000 contract over two years. John Whittingdale, chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, told The Sun: "This is public money. If she feels she can go and earn vast sums in the private sector, then good luck to her." Bleakley recently signed a new management deal which means she is now represented by the same company as Chiles.

Like the Natalie Imbruglia song, Bleakley said she was "torn" between "great offers" from the both the BBC and ITV, in a statement in which she also revealed that she has signed with talent agency Avalon Management, which represents Chiles. "In the light of constant speculation about my future I'd like to clarify a few things. It's been reported that I've signed for ITV, signed for the BBC and in both cases for astronomical sums," she said. "The truth is that as it stands, my current contract with the BBC ends shortly. I'm flattered to have received great offers from both the BBC and ITV, which I now have to decide between.

I am torn. "On one hand I am really keen to work again with Adrian. We have a brilliant relationship on and off screen, although I can't say I'd particularly relish the idea of dealing with him at 5am every morning! "On the other hand the BBC is incredibly good to me and I'm very close to everyone on The One Show, which I love presenting. The BBC's plans for The One Show are very exciting. I expect to make a decision on my future very soon." On Wednesday Bleakley was quoted in the Daily Mirror saying she is "so happy here [at the BBC] I'm staying put, absolutely". BBC insiders seemed confident that Bleakley would sign a new a two-year deal understood to be worth about £1m to stay at the BBC to front The One Show, host a new Saturday night programme and play a part in the coverage of the 2012 Olympics. Bleakley recently split with her long-time agent John Noel, which fuelled speculation that she planned to join Chiles on the GMTV sofa.

What excitement at breakfast time Current editions of Daybreak (ITV1) are an example of a particular and rare sort of broadcasting: interregnum TV. These are the editions put out when presenters suddenly leave a programme because of tragedy, sacking or a better offer. Such programmes are a striking combination of panic – as items featuring the previous incumbents are abandoned – and naked ambition, as the stand-ins try to show they're big enough for the gig. Curiously, Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley have now been responsible for two of these interludes: first because ITV was desperate to get them on the Daybreak sofa and then because the network was desperate to get them off, a transition that neatly symbolises the sudden shifts of power during a presenting career.

It was confirmed last month that Bleakley and Chiles would leave Daybreak just a year after ITV hired them from the BBC in exclusive deals for reportedly a combined £10m. "It is important to remember GMTV was on a gradual slide down and it is important to try and take a risk," said Crozier, speaking at a Broadcasting Press Guild lunch on Wednesday.

Chiles has told pals that asking Christine to quit BBC1's The One Show and become his co-host is his biggest regret. Daybreak has attracted so few viewers that ITV are now ready to offer Christine, 31, an "escape route" with a different show. Chiles, 43, told a pal: "The show's bombing and I'm dragging her down with me. I fear I've ruined her career. It's my biggest regret." Daybreak sources say Christine, girlfriend of England football star Frank Lampard, is extremely upset about the show's failure and the negative publicity surrounding her switch from the BBC. Over a million watched Daybreak's first show two months ago, but by last Friday only 600,000 viewers tuned in, while the rival BBC Breakfast show attracted 1.5million. A source close to the pair said: "Everyone's worked hard on the show but it's not gelling with people.
