It is understood that Hill, 46, will see out the two-year contact with ITV, which he signed in 2010.
He is set for another series of the show – which has won three Bafta awards in the UK and the coveted Rose d'Or Award at the Montreux International Television Festival – in 2012, after a run which begins this October.

Avalon, who produce the series, said a final decision had not yet been made post the 2012 run.
