Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland has had his TV show pulled by ITV after one series.
The 47-year-old lifted the glitterball trophy back in December alongside his professional partner Dianne Buswell.
However, the comedian’s Saturday morning chat show won’t be returning, The Sun has revealed.
The programme titled The Chris McCausland Show debuted last year on ITV1.
The star was joined by celebrity guests in the studio including the likes of Rachel Riley, Paul Whitehouse and Pixie Lott.
It is reported that McCausland’s show being axed comes as part of a schedule shakeup.
A source told The Sun: "ITV appears to be moving away from studio-based chat shows in their weekend schedule.
"In the last number of years they've invested heavily in their daytime programmes and have given new faces an opportunity to shine.

"Chris was a breath of a fresh air, but ultimately there are no plans for his show to return."
All 11 episodes of the first series are available now to stream on ITVX.
But it’s not all bad news for McCausland, as he has has already landed another TV gig with the BBC.
The comic will front a one-off special documentary exploring the future of technology.

He was the first ever blind contestant to win Strictly Come Dancing last year, beating other finalists JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri and Sarah Hadland to lift the glitterball trophy.
It was also the first time Dianne Buswell had won in her career as a Strictly professional dancer.
