Harry Hill is “weeks away” from agreeing a deal to move TV Burp from ITV to Sky, a report has claimed.

According to The Sun, the comedian is seriously considering accepting an £80,000-per-episode deal with the satellite broadcaster.

It is thought that the new deal would see Hill securing an annual pay packet of more than £3 million, as Sky is hoping for a larger number of episodes and also considering him for other projects.

An insider said: “Sky is very confident of getting Harry. He’s very tempted by their offer. They want him to do TV Burp and have other ideas for him. A deal could be just weeks away now.

“ITV is trying really hard to keep him but is under serious pressure to reduce costs.”
Representatives for Sky and ITV refused to comment on the rumours.
