The BBC has confirmed that Davina McCall's ratings-challenged chat show will not be returning for another series.
"Davina played in a very challenging slot," said BBC One controller Peter Fincham. "It's right for BBC One to take risks and I'm glad we did it. At the moment we don't have any plans to bring Davina back but we remain committed to working with Davina McCall on a long term basis."
Jon Beazley, the BBC's controller of entertainment commissioning, added that the show was a "tough challenge," but thanked Davina and the show's production team "for their hard work on the series."
