Chris Tarrant has revealed that he is "constantly arguing" for members of the public to be allowed back on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Speaking to Radio 5’s Richard Bacon he said: "At the moment there's no shows for members of the public and I think that's wrong."
He added: "I'm constantly arguing with ITV about it. I think the celebrity versions are the icing on the cake. But I think they are missing the cake."
Tarrant further stated: "I think it is still about giving little old ladies £25,000 that will completely change their life. And I think we've kind of lost sight of that. It's got to be live, it's got to be celebs, it's got to be charity and all that. That's fine and they get big audiences. But I still think they should be doing good old Millionaire with members of the public."
The latest celebrity special of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, which featured the likes of Fern Britton and boxer Joe Calzaghe competing alongside their children, won 4.6m viewers back in July.
