ITV revealed in a statement that Entertainment One has ‘rejected’ the broadcaster’s offer of 236p a share for the company.

‘We’ve secured a fantastic line up of partners for The BFG movie who have created a comprehensive merchandise range that truly captures the magic of the movie,’ says eOne’s Hannah Mungo.

The announcement arrives as the first season of the hit pre-school show continues to roll out on Disney Junior channels across the globe.

The firm has announced contract renewals for all of Peppa’s major North American partners, and has teamed up with many more brands.

The group has posted a full year profit rise of nine per cent as growth in its TV arm offsets ‘lower than expected film results.’

‘We’re thrilled to team up with Simon & Schuster on a ‘super’ collection of PJ Masks books that will help young children develop a love of reading as they join in the heroic adventures of the PJ Masks,’ says eOne‘s Joan Grasso.

According to reports, ITV has held conversations with eOne over a potential sale, although no final decision has been made yet.

Talks include 'Managing Licensing Programmes at Retail', 'The Role of the Licensor' and 'Making Licensing Work for Manufacturers'.

Beginning on March 26th, shoppers will be able to get their hands on promotional goods and take part in in-store and online events.

Planeta Junior will also be seeking new licensees for the Spanish market in the toy, homeware, gifting, stationery and apparel categories.
