James Corden has quit The Late Late Show after seven years and is moving back to the UK with his family.
The star was reported to be the top choice for bosses of the popular series, and they were desperate to keep him, writes the Mirror, even willing to pay him £15 million to stay at the forefront of the show for another two years.
But the Gavin and Stacey co-creator has turned down the multimillion offer and announced the news in a statement during a taping of the show on Thursday.
