James Corden, 44, has revealed whether or not he intentionally copied a joke told by Ricky Gervais, 61, on his chat show last night.The star took to Twitter to update his 1.5 million followers, after accusations of plagiarising the comic. James wrote: “Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him. “It’s brilliant, because it’s a Ricky Gervais joke,” he continued. “You can watch all Ricky’s excellent specials on Netflix.

In a Monday Instagram post, Balthazar restaurateur Keith McNally responded to the television personality’s insistence that he did nothing wrong at the New York City restaurant. Earlier this month, Keith wrote on Instagram that James had been banned from the venue, detailing two incidents in which James had reportedly been rude to servers.

And there’s a chance that it could be more interesting.”The TV star continued: “Either way, the worst-case scenario is that I get to take my kids to school and pick them up every day.“In many ways, that might be the best-case scenario.”James revealed he had decided to leave The Late Late Show in April, explaining that part of his decision was in a bid to explore other avenues and take on new adventures.Speaking on the show, he said while tearing up: "Seven and half years ago I started hosting this show and there's no other way to put it, it has changed my life."I never saw it as my final destination, and I never want this show to overstay its welcome, I love making it and I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what's out there."He added: "We are all determined to make this the best year we have ever had...
