ITV reality show 'axed after 10 years as cast left gutted over cancelled filming'

ok.co.uk:

The popular ITV Weekender series has been axed after ten years on-air, according to reports. The Weekender followed people doing seasons in Ibiza, Magaluf and Kavos - some of the biggest party destinations in Europe.

But The Sun claims that the programme will be no more, and they've decided to stop filming it - leaving the cast "gutted". It's said that part of the reason ITV have decided to pull the plug on the popular show is due to the return of iconic programme Big Brother, taking place later this year, which is being re-launched by ITV, having previously been on Channel 5.

A source told the publication: "The cast were recently informed that planned filming later this year has now been cancelled and the show won't be coming back.They're all gutted as many of them have been on it for years and it's always been such a popular format. "ITV2 have had to make some difficult decisions with the return of Big Brother taking up a big portion of the schedule later in the year, and it looks like the Weekender series is one of those casualties. "Obviously in telly land shows can always be resurrected, so it's not necessarily gone forever, but for the foreseeable future it's off the cards." OK!

has contacted ITV for comment. The show has spawned some reality TV stars, such as Jordan Davies and David Potts, who can currently be seen starring in The Big Celebrity Detox.
