James Corden has announced he’s stepping down from The Late Late Show – here’s who fans think might replace him, including Jack Whitehall and Chelsea Handler.

James Corden is exiting CBS show The Late Late Show after seven years as its host, after he took over from Craig Ferguson in 2015.

Corden said stepping down – which he’ll do in a year’s time – has been ‘a really hard decision’ which he’s debated for ‘a long time’ but always wondered if there’s ‘one more adventure’.
