The broadcaster made the offer after it failed to lure Graham Norton from Channel 4 with a £6m offer.
Vaughan will first appear on the BBC in a new comedy drama called 鈥橭谤谤颈产濒别. His main role, however, will be fronting a three-times-a-week chat show called Kitchen Confidential. The show has been described as an alternative Question Time.
