According to an Article on TV Wise a while ago, ITV were miffed that BBC got the show originally by beating ITV in the negotiations.

Seems like ITV were holding on to some sour grapes. Personally, I don't care who has it as I don't watch it. I do hope ITV have had to pay mega-bucks and way over the top to get the rights though. Money loaded networks, who use that money to take away successful shows from less well of networks (and I'm not just referring to the BBC) really irritate me. Sky are guilty of the same practice.
