Eamonn Holmes says he tries to make the most of life but cannot help worrying he only has four years left.
The 60-year-old presenter of This Morning alongside wife Ruth Langsford said he was desperate to achieve more given his dad was only a bit older than him when he died.
He said: “My father was dead at 64. He died of a heart attack.
“That gives me four years. Ruth says, ‘Don’t talk like that,’ but you do think like that.”
Speaking on The Journey podcast with Pete Snodden, he added: “There’s projects that I crave and I’ve got interests in lots of things."

He added: “There are things I would like to do. I’d like to do biopics on people. I would like to interview Clint Eastwood.”
Holmes has previously told how he has been liberated by a hearing aid after going through what he called “manopause”.

He said his health had declined, adding: “I’m not a superhuman. But I have a positivity, a lust for life. I don’t feel that I want to slow up.”
Holmes, who had a double hip replacement in 2016, found he had lost 30% of his hearing around his 50th birthday.

Ruth has revealed how Liz Hurley advised him to do squats while brushing his teeth to help with his back issues.
She said: “Every morning he has another woman on his mind – Elizabeth Hurley. They met at a lunch, and he’s literally bending over backwards for her.”
