'Most Haunted' axed by Sky Living

Sky Living has confirmed that it will not be ordering any more episodes of Most Haunted.

The show, hosted by Yvette Fielding, examined alleged paranormal activities across the country.

Fielding quit the programme last year but Sky Living did not immediately make any decisions about its future.

However, the channel has now confirmed in a statement that it will be returning the rights to Most Haunted to production company Antix, run by Fielding and her husband Karl Beattie.

"We have decided not to recommission Most Haunted and will be giving Antix Productions the right to take it to another channel if they wish," Sky Living said. "We would like to thank Yvette Fielding and Karl Beattie for all of their hard work and commitment over the years."

The statement continued: "Like every commercial TV channel, Sky Living is constantly developing new ideas. We recognise our customers' appetite for paranormal programming and have recently aired a series about popular psychic Sally Morgan and original scripted drama Bedlam, which proved to be the channel's most successful commissioned series in its history.

"As well as paranormal, the channel will build on other successful genres, from scripted comedy to real-life relationships, which we know our customers also enjoy."
