Cash In The Attic has been dropped by the BBC after nine years.

The daytime series sees antiques experts examining viewers' belongings to see what could make money at an auction.

A rotating group of stars including Jennie Bond, Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Chris Hollins present the show. Ben Fogle also used to host the series.

However, the programme has now been cancelled, The Mirror reports.

"Cash In The Attic has had a tremendous run, but the show has been taken as far as it can and the time is right to make way for new ideas," the BBC's head of daytime Liam Keelan said.

"We've had great success recently bringing more history, consumer and drama programming to BBC Daytime and we're constantly looking at ways to refresh our schedules."

Cash In The Attic has already aired over 1,000 episodes and featured celebrity specials, including one starring David Gest.

The show is expected to come to an end next spring.
