The 50-year-old star - who is best known for being a quizzer on 'The Chase' - will return for more episodes of the hit ITV game show with team captains Fay Ripley and Rob Beckett.
A TV insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: “ITV bosses were so impressed with its debut run earlier this year that they are now hoping it will be back for multiple series.
“Filming has already started with a host of celebrity guests also signed up to take part.”
The show sees two teams of celebrities putting their small screen knowledge to the test, and the programme has been described as "'Telly Addicts' meets 'Celebrity Juice'".
A source previously said: "There’s an abundance of quiz shows on ITV already, but one just about telly hasn’t been done in a while. This is a fresh take on a familiar format.
“It’s like 'Telly Addicts' meets 'Celebrity Juice', with the popular Paul Sinha at the helm. "It won’t be as mad and crazy as 'Celebrity Juice', but it will have two teams of celeb guests going head to head."
It comes after Paul was forced to drop out of the latest series of 'Beat the Chasers' due to an illness.
He tweeted: "New episodes of 'Beat the Chasers; are on their way. Unfortunately, I wasn't well for the recordings and couldn't join in this time around. I'm feeling much better now."
Paul revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, and he went straight to work on 'The Chase' after opening up on his diagnosis.
In November 2020, he wrote: "In June last year I blogged that I had Parkinson's. Then I shut my computer, left my agent to deal with things, and went into a studio to record The Chase. Today was that episode and all things told I was proud to get that close to that team on that day."
