Lamarr to quit another show?

Mark Lamarr is reportedly quitting Shooting Stars after a row with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.

Last week, The Mirror revealed the comic was leaving Never Mind The Buzzcocks because he had grown bored with it after seven years.

But today The Sun says he is in talks to present another series of the pop quiz - but has told BBC bosses he doesn't want to appear in the planned return of Shooting Stars.

The paper says that Vic and Bob, who dubbed him the Fifties Throwback, found Lamarr's spiky sense of humour hard to work with.

It quotes an unnamed source saying: "The feelings are mutual - and Mark said he'd had enough of Shooting Stars."
