Shaun Micallef, 'Talkin' 'Bout My Generation' to return next year

Shaun Micallef and Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation will both be returning to television screens next year.

The Australian comedy panel show, which is aired on Channel Ten, was rumoured to be coming to an end after reports surfaced that Micallef was keen to move on to other television projects.

A spokesperson for Ten has now confirmed that the series will return for at least another year, with Micallef as host and team captains Amanda Keller, Charlie Pickering and Josh Thomas appearing as usual.

The channel's representative told the Herald Sun: "Talkin' Bout' Your Generation will be back in 2012 with all cast returning."

Thomas caused controversy earlier last year by having a public spat with former Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation star Ruby Rose. The pair initially first fell out when he referred to her as a "loser" on Twitter after she reportedly left him with the drinks bill during a night out.

She later said that she was very "upset" by his comments and he apologised, but then targeted her in a comedy gig this year, calling her a "c**t" at least ten times during his routine. Thomas also said of her in September: "Ugh. It's pretty well-documented how I feel about her. I'm mostly confused about how everyone knows who she is. Like, what does she do?"

Ten has made a number of changes to its television schedule in the past few months, axing Video Hits, then reviving Young Talent Time and launching a new morning show called Breakfast.
