“Their plan is to try to spend more time in the UK once he finishes The Late Late Show next year.”

The source added: “They will go backwards and forwards for a while.”

“Long-term, they both want to see more of their parents and are considering a permanent move back in a couple of years.”

The TV source disclosed: “Everyone at CBS is utterly devastated. Execs did their utmost to keep him on.  James turned down a multi-million pound, multi-year deal.”

“Instead, he’s agreed to a hugely-lucrative, 12-month package.”

“He will go out with a bang and is determined to make the show the best ever in the coming months.”
