ITV drops "Elimidate" from schedules

Kerry McFadden's dating series Elimidate has been dropped from the ITV schedules.

Of the eight shows made, only five will make it to air, according to The Sun today. The programme, which sees singles compete for the affections of a member of the opposite sex, will be replaced on August 8 by a new series, Britain’s Angriest Men.

The first episode drew 2.5m viewers, but audiences have since dwindled.

"Elimidate is a bit of an embarrassment and Kerry isn’t as good as we would have hoped. The only talking point is the size of her boobs, which seem to get bigger and bigger," an ITV insider told the tabloid. "We are replacing the programme with a show called Britain’s Angriest Men which is probably how a lot of Kerry’s male fans will feel at her being taken off air."

An ITv spokesman said that they had tasken the show off air "while we look for a more suitable slot."
