Paul Martin is busy working on two brand new shows after Flog It! was axed last month after 18 years.
The presenter and antiques expert, who has spent the last 18 years hosting the daytime antiques show, is now fronting Make Me A Dealer – which started on Monday – and has another game show in the pipeline.
After it was announced that the BBC are axing the programme, Paul has admitted he’s “missing” the show already and hopes it gets the send off it deserves.

He also said that he hopes there will be some “special” episodes of Flog It! before it retires from screens and he would love to see celebrity or charity episodes air.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “It’s down to the channel really and I can’t make those decisions. I’m kind of missing it already. It’s 18 years of my life.”
Paul is keeping busy since the announcement, with his new show Make Me A Dealer, which is similar to Flog It!, having kicked off on BBC One on Monday.
And he will also be hosting new show Curiosity, which will pit two amateur antiques enthusiasts against each other to make the most money at auction.
He told the publication: “It’s two teams using their skill and intuition. It’s against-the-clock and they’ve got to answer questions on antiques, on collectables, on history, on all things vintage.
“They’ve also got to complete tasks in room sets, dating decades. And then they battle it out and the winners take home £1,000.”
Paul said the show is “really unpredictable” and “oozing with fun” before predicting it’s going to be “one of the best shows on BBC TV”.
It comes after the BBC was inundated with complaints over their decision to axe Flog It!.
Upset viewers have been bombarding the broadcaster with calls, urging them to rethink their decision.

After it was announced the show was to be axed, BBC controller of daytime and programming Dan McGolphin praised the BBC1 series as a “huge success” but insisted it was necessary to make changes to appeal to a new generation of viewers.
He told the Mirror: “If we’re trying to create the new generation then some of the long-running shows will have to go.
“Now and again, we reach a time to move on and modernise, bringing through some new shows.
“The ideas we have here are hugely scalable, they are modern and accessible, lots of fun and hugely relevant to people across the UK.”
