A show fronted by popular ITV personality Lorraine Kelly is to be cancelled by producers after only one series amid audience concerns.
An insider said that the show will not be broadcast again despite bosses having high hopes for the programme.
The source said that Queens For The Night, which aired last year, will not be returning any time soon after struggling to secure an audience.
The ITV insider said: "The show was always thought of as a bit of a 'special' for ITV but there was always the hope it might take off and become a series."

However, they added: "That hasn’t happened but it’s the kind of programme channel bosses could bring back sporadically."
They went on to tell The Sun newspaper: "It was a bold choice for ITV1 on a Saturday but a worthy one."
Lorraine Kelly 'so excited' to host Queens For The Night
Queens For The Night is a glamorous show which sees Lorraine Kelly welcome the likes of Melaine C, Rob Beckett, Courtney Act and Layton Williams onto the show's judging panel.
Other stars like Love Island's Chris Hughs, Joe Marler and Mr Motivator would then dress to the ninths to impress the judges with their drag looks.

When the show was first announced, Lorraine was more than excited, expressing her joy online.
She said: "I'm so excited to be hosting this show.
"I am a huge fan of Drag and can not wait to see a host of well-known stars embrace this uniquely wonderful and uplifting skill.
"It's a show that will have humour, warmth and above all lots and lots of glamour, I can't wait to get started."
