Tarrant to leave 'Millionaire' in a year?

A tabloid report has claimed that Chris Tarrant may leave Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in a year.

According to The Sun, the TV presenter has hinted that may leave the programme when his current contract runs out in 2010. He has helmed the quiz show since it began in 1998.

However, speaking to Digital Spy earlier this year, Tarrant said that he would only leave the show when he stopped enjoying it.

"There has to be an end point," he said. "There must be. I never imagined in 1998 that I'd still be doing it in 2010! I've always said that I'll only stop when I don't enjoy it, but I've just been in the studio all week doing it and it was honestly a complete ball.

"The mixture of people who come and sit next to me, eyeball to eyeball, who can win this astounding amount of money, is incredible. Everyone knows Millionaire these days and it fits like a glove. It's such a fantastic, simple format."
