Jeremy Vine has admitted he feels "uncomfortable" talking about his professional career ending.
The presenter, 58, has been a staple of British TV and radio, most recently hosting his own show on Channel 5.
But speaking on the How to Be 60 podcast, the Eggheads star said he does not like to think about when he will leave the limelight.

Talking to podcast hosts Kaye Adams and Karen MacKenzie, Vine said: "I'm the oldest one now, I was the youngest one for ages, but I don't really go for public panic.
"I'm so uncomfortable talking about my own professional demise. I can't quite factor it in and I do think that we all have to be aware that it's coming for all of us".
Vine also said that it will be a challenge for him to come to terms with the fact he will have to retire, but said that he cannot fight against it.
"We have to accept that because what you cannot do is say 'how unfair' – the unfairneess is we've done it for so long," he said.
"So, I think I'll be cool with it actually, I think I will".
In addition to his presenting roles on Channel 5, Vine also hosts his own show on BBC Radio 2.
But despite his long-running show continuing to pull in listeners, the show is struggling as other iconic hosts such as Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo leave the BBC in favour of Greatest Hits.
Taking to social media, the ex-Strictly star said he was 'terrified but delighted' to listen to the podcast with his broadcasting pals Kaye and Karen.
And it is clear that fans were on Jeremy's side, with many showing their support for him.
One user commented under the post that the episode was "a good listen", adding that they "really enjoyed it".
Whilst other fans, fed up with the loss of listenership, tried to explain why the BBC's radio days could be numbered.
Another fan wrote: "There are knowledgeable, competent youngsters out there like Edith Bowman but Radio 2 insists on muppets like Beckett, Rylan, Winkleman, Ball Cox, Vernon…"
A third said that they had been listening to a producer on fellow station BBC Radio 4, "never once mentioned their constant woke preaching which is putting so many people off the corporation now".
