Earlier this year, Osman announced that he would be leaving Pointless after 13 years in the role. The game show is yet to announce a permanent replacement for the star, with several guests taking his place for the foreseeable future.
Discussing his life after the show, Osman, who is also a bestselling author with The Thursday Murder Club series, said he is enjoying life away from the TV cameras.
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday's You magazine, he said: "I spent my whole working life in telly where you're surrounded by people all the time, but I've surprised myself by finding I really enjoyed shutting the door, sitting down and writing."
Pointless airs weekdays on BBC One.
