Katherine Ryan's All That Glitters axed
The 39-year-old comedian's show ran for just two seasons before it was reportedly cancelled by the channel, even though it averaged at 2.3 million viewers across the series, according to TVZone.
The show first aired in 2021 and saw eight talented jewellers compete to become the next big name in jewellery design at a specially-built workshop in Birmingham.
Season two featured a memorable cameo from 'Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas for a "very tense" challenge.
Katherine previously told the BBC: "It was amazing to have Shirley Ballas as a celebrity guest client. It was a very tense challenge for the jewellers who were all desperate to have their piece worn on an episode of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
"There are some real gut-wrenching moments this series too where pieces break at the last minute or just that the jewellers just don't finish in time. You spend so much time with them you want everyone to do well and when it goes wrong it's awful. But it does make great TV."
The former 'Campus' star - who also presented the first series of 'All That Glitters' alongside Solange Azagury-Partridge and Shaun Leane - went on to explain that the success of the competition was down to the jewellers themselves, and noted that series one winner Hugo Johnson has gone on to "amazing things" since his victory.
She added: "Jewellery making is so visual and satisfying to watch, but it’s the jewellers themselves that make the show unmissable. They’re all so warm and different, and they all have uniquely compelling personalities and stories that they bring into their craft. Hugo, our winner from series one, has gone on to do amazing things and launched the most beautiful collections, I think he has been nominated for an award too. That's pretty amazing. It's a cliché but proves that this show really can change our jeweller's lives."
