Jonathan Ross says George Michael interview won’t happen yet

A few months ago rumours were circulating that Jonathan Ross had managed to convince George Michael to give him a tell all interview.

Simon Cowell was masterminding the whole thing for primetime TV and the show would go out on ITV1 and be similar to the format of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories. However the show never happened, reportedly because Cowell thought many of George’s revelations would be too graphic and hard hitting for the usual X Factor watching audience.

But Ross has since revealed that he did start preliminary chats with the troubled star, who recently spent four weeks in prison after admitting driving under the influence of drugs.

When asked about how the ‘Careless Whisper’ singer is doing now, Jonathan told The Sun’s Buzz magazine:

“I’ve been to see him since he was released…and he’s fine. We were actually talking about doing a TV interview but that’s not going to happen yet.

Instead he played me some new tracks he’s recorded. He’s been writing loads. One of the songs sounded like an instant hit…George is a strong man mentally.

I think he would be the first to say that going inside may not have been a pleasant experience for him but that it was a good thing. He seems to be in a good place now.

I think he’s in a mood to be quite revealing and share himself with his fans more than ever before.”
