They are keen to keep the 50-year-old on as one of the judges when the show makes the switch next year.

He gave the biggest hint that he would leave the show if it moved channels earlier this year when he appeared on an episode of Top Gear.

He told host Chris Evans: “It’s not up to us, it's up to the production company, but as far as Mary, Mel, Sue and myself are concerned we want to stay on the BBC.”

 Paul has previously said the show only works with the current team of people
