Jonathan Ross could Twitter on TV

January 9, 2009 11:13 AM

Jonathan Ross is set to release his inner geek on TV when he returns to our screens, by using Twitter with Stephen Fry during his Friday night chat show.

The BBC comedian has embraced the social network website Twitter where users update during his enforced holiday sending up-to 20 messages each day.

Twitter allows its six million users broadcast 140-character messages from the web or their mobile phone, with other users picking who to follow.

48-year-old Ross is using the service to tell people what his is doing, to chat with fans and to have the occasional dig at pal David Baddiel who he named as one of his 'non-famous friends'.

But as newspapers like the Daily Mail are now watching his every tweet it can only be a matter of time before with a Jonathan Ross 'Tweetgate'.

With one of his first guests, Stephen Fry, also being an addict of the site Ross has now suggested they could Twitter live on the show.

"Will see if Stephen wants to Twitter on the show," he recently said on a Tweet.

While many celebrities who use Twitter.com have turned out to be fake, Wossy has uploaded a picture of himself and Stephen Fry has linked to his account from his official website stephenfry.com.
