Bitter Barney has already managed to capture an audience and we believe the collaboration with ITV Mobile will extend our reach. We look forward to further developing the property with ITV Mobile throughout the coming year."

Melissa Goodwin, head of mobile at ITV Consumer, added: "This is a perfect example of the kind of made-for-mobile content which sits brilliantly amongst the wealth of clips, downloads and information on our portal.
