Five has pulled all shows containing premium rate participation elements off the air.
The channel made the move after production company Endemol informed it of "issues" with daily quiz show Brainteaser.
Quiz Call programming on Five and Five US will also be pulled.
"We are shocked and disappointed and wish to apologise unreservedly to our viewers," said Five CEO Jane Lighting.
