A GAME show hosted by Dermot O’Leary has been shelved after just one series.
This Morning host Dermot fronted Silence is Golden for UKTV, with the first series airing in May.
But it has now been confirmed that as things stand, the show will not be returning for a second outing.
Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, UKTV execs confirmed the fate of that show and Battle in the Box
They said: “[They are] both fantastic shows and maybe in another universe we might be keeping both of those shows at the moment landing shows at that budget and scale that’s not where our heads are at.
“We are really looking to try and do something different so we can bring it back in volume.
“They are great producers and we have absolutely work loved working with both of them.”
Silence is Golden saw a studio audience get £250,000 to share between them, all they had to do was not make a sound.
This would prove difficult, as comedians including Katherine Ryan and Seann Walsh attempted to make them laugh and bring the prize pot down.
Any time an audience member – who were all mic’ed up – made a noise , the money would go down and if the entertainers brought the prize pot down to zero, they got to give the money to charity.
