'Wallpaper' to return, 'Echo' waits to hear

ITV has confirmed Moving Wallpaper will return for a second series, with Echo Beach likely to come back in a "different format".

The future of Echo, which has been less popular than its sister show, is expected to be confirmed later this week. It has been rumoured there could be a run with fewer episodes.

"Moving Wallpaper has been recommissioned, Echo Beach is going to come back but we are not sure how yet," said an ITV spokesman.

Wallpaper's average audience for the series is 3.5m, or a 14.9% share of viewers, which is lower than the average for the slot last year of 4.3m (19.3%). It is attracting many target 16-34-year-olds, however.

Beach's average to date is 3.3m (13.8%) but its audience has been falling and was 2.1m (9%) last week.
