Former Who Wants to be a Millionaire host Christ Tarrant, 78, has announced he is ending his half-a-century long career in broadcasting.
Tarrant, who commanded the radio waves and TV screens for decades, told the Sun: “I’ve stopped.”
“I mean I think lockdown really, you just started to get everything in a bit perspective and I thought, I’ve done this thing for 50 years,” he explained.
The 78-year-old confessed: “I don’t need the money, without sounding silly. So I was thinking, why am I still doing this?”
Tarrant’s last TV full TV endeavour was six series of Extreme Railways for Channel 5.
