Defending her commissioning of the show, Jain said: "Flops are painful. They are awful. But this job is a bit of a crapshoot. You never know what's going to work."
Giving her reasoning for the show's underwhelming ratings, Jain said: "We work in a world that is quite elitist and in reality lots of people don't care about the world of showbiz scoops outside the media world of London.
"I think I underestimated how alienated the audience would be by it."
