Christine Bleakley has reportedly sacked agent John Noel as she faces a dilemma over the future of her career.
According to The Sun, the One Show host made the decision after becoming concerned over the advice she was receiving over a possible move to ITV.
It is thought that Bleakley is "tempted" to accept a £1 million offer to defect to the commercial broadcaster. However, Noel was said to be keen for her to stay with the BBC.
A source said: "Christine's future is now very much up in the air. She feels she is being pulled from both sides and was worried she wasn't getting the right advice. She's decided the best way to tackle it was to ditch her agent and clear her head."
Bleakley's £100,000-a-year contract with the BBC is due to expire in September. Insiders say that quitting her current job would be a difficult move for her as she is "very fond" of the corporation.
A spokesman for John Noel Management confirmed that it had parted company with Bleakley.
