Bashir quits ITV for US news show

UK TV journalist Martin Bashir is leaving ITV1 to work as a correspondent on the 20/20 US TV news show on ABC.

Bashir is best known to US audiences for his interview with Michael Jackson, seen by 27 million people last year.

ABC has also shown other Bashir shows about Princess Diana and the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? cheating scandal.

Reports about Bashir's move to ABC first emerged in February. One said he was leaving his post on ITV1's Tonight show in July in a $1m (£530,000) deal.
