‘Bradley Walsh’s Late Night Guestlist’ has been axed.
The ITV chat show – which bosses hoped would be commissioned for a full series after a one-off episode last year – has now been cancelled after viewers struggled to keep up with the format.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "ITV likes to try out different things like this format with Bradley but sadly it didn’t land as it might have hoped. ITV will go back to the drawing board and try again."
The one-off special – which featured music, a live band and prizes for the public – saw Holly Willoughby, Piers Morgan and Maya Jama playing over the top games.
At one point, former ‘Love Island’ hunk Jack Fincham kissed a blindfolded Piers after crawling along a conveyor belt in his boxers, whilst Holly and Maya had to try and flog items online.
Elsewhere, Spice Girls star Emma Bunton performed a duet with her partner and fellow singer Jade Jones.
Viewers took to Twitter to discuss the frontman with one person tweeting: "Oh dear @ITV reading the tweets for #bradleysguestlist
"why is this madness on our TV. People are turning it off now, and that band making a racket after each segment of the show #entertainment gone wrong ! (sic)"
Another user commented: "I rarely criticise a new program as it is quite demoralising for the production staff that always go the extra mile, but, so far, I’m sorry to say the best thing about #bradleysguestlist is the commercial break. @ITV (sic)"
At the time, Bradley said he was "excited" about chatting to the stars and giving the late night talk show a twist with "fantastic music" and "funny games".
He said: "I’m so excited to be filming this TV special. On my guestlist are going to be some big stars, with some fantastic music, funny games and at the heart of it, the great British public, who will hopefully get to win some truly amazing prizes."
