Chris Tarrant may quit 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'.
The quiz show host - who has presented the British show since it started in 1998 – has hinted he might leave the ITV1 programme next year.
He said: "I'm still doing Millionaire until 2010, so we've had a pretty good run with that."
I'm still doing Millionaire until 2010, so we've had a pretty good run with that.
Chris, 62, is currently presenting new game show 'The Colour of Money' - which launched on ITV1 last Saturday (21.02.09) – and is reportedly being flooded with new job offers all the time.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Chris only has a contract on Millionaire that runs up until next year. We don't exactly have a crystal ball – who can tell what will happen? Chris is constantly being offered new projects."
The programme has been in a renewed spotlight since the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' - which is based around the story of a contestant on the Indian version of the show - won eight Oscars on Sunday (22.02.09).
Chris recently said: "It was surreal to see Slumdog. It's a great film.
Referring to the film's plot he added: "But I have to say, I have never taken any contestant to the toilet!"
'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' originated in the United Kingdom, but has gone on to become one of the most popular gameshows of all time, and localised versions are broadcast in over 70 countries worldwide.
