"No-nonsense" talkshow host Dr. Phil McGraw has signed a deal to stay on air through the 2013-14 season.

His show averages around 7 million viewers per day in America, ranking second only to Oprah Winfrey in the ratings.

"It is an honour to be invited to millions of viewers' homes in the U.S. and around the world," said McGraw. "It is a privilege and not something I take lightly. I am excited to have this continued opportunity for so many years to come."
