Britain to end original Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?

The original edition of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? is set to end after 15 years.

2013-10-24_0120The British edition of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? is set to end after 15 years after host Chris Tarrant, 67, said it was “time to take a break”.

This is the original Millionaire format, hosted by Tarrant since 1998.

“It’s been a huge part of my life for fifteen years and I’ve loved every minute of it, but it is time for me to move on from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” said Tarrant.

“It’s been the most remarkable journey and I consider myself very fortunate to have been associated with Millionaire from its inception.

“I am privileged to have been a part of it, but do now feel that it is time for me to call it a day.

“I’ve worked ridiculously hard these last few years and, to quote myself, ‘it’s time to take a break’.”

Eddie McGuire began hosting Millionaire in Australia in 1999, now in its Hot Seat format.
