Sir Trevor in talks on US job

Sir Trevor McDonald has revealed he is in talks with US television networks following his decision to retire from the 10.30pm ITV news.

The 65-year-old presenter, who has said he will quit newscasting next year, has received "interest" from American channels to front a series of current affairs interviews.

"I'm not really into the idea of retiring completely," he said.

"TV is in my blood. I want to do more interviews in the current affairs field. I don't want to appear immodest but I've had offers, or shall we say interest, from America."

Sir Trevor said he will continue to host the Tonight shows.
