Richard & Judy's New Position is reportedly going to be axed after viewing figures fell to just 8,000.

The couple have lost over 90% of their audience after opening on multi-channel TV service Watch in October.

"Every day, we think an announcement will be made, saying 'That's All,'" a show source told The Sun. "It looks unlikely this show will come back."

Ratings for the Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan fronted programme opened at 100,000 when they first joined the channel, significantly down from the audience of 3 million that regularly tuned in to Channel 4.

Finnigan recently claimed that she would 'happily' quit TV.
