A spin-off of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is reportedly in the works after the original became a hit with the public when it returned to screens four years ago.
Jeremy Clarkson, 61, helped catch the hearts of the British public with the programme once again after he replaced original host Chris Tarrant, 75.
The new series, Fastest Finger First, will be based on the first round of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in which contestants have to rearrange the answers of a multiple choice question into a specific order, with the winner being the quickest person to get it right.

The very first round sees 15 contenders compete to get the question right in a bid to take the hot seat for the rest of the game, with Jeremy reading the questions off a screen.
A TV insider told The Sun: 'This is a reflection of just how much of a triumph the reboot has been, because even the original Millionaire didn’t spawn a spin-off show.
'And that was a phenomenon which was on our screens for a staggering 16 years under its former host, Chris Tarrant, before it was eventually axed in 2014.
'So this shows how much ITV believe the contest has captured the imagination of a whole new generation of viewers.'
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire returned to screens in 2018 but ITV bosses were said to be unsure about how the viewing public would take to the reboot.
It first aired in 1998 with former Capital Radio host Chris taking the helm before it was taken off air in 2007.
The person who will front Fastest Finger First is yet to be announced but it is expected more will be revealed later this year when filming begins.
