ITV has axed the dating show

ITV has decided to scrap the dating show after just a single series, and the broadcaster is now focusing "on other shows".

A source told The Sun newspaper's TV column: "'The Singles Table' seemed a good idea at the time and was easy to make. But after much consideration, ITV decided to focus on other shows.

"It proves that dating series need to be instant hits, otherwise they’re unlikely to be renewed."

In recent years, various broadcasters have tried to emulate the success of ITV's 'Love Island'.

However, many of the rival shows - including Channel 4’s 'The Love Trap' and ITV's 'Ready To Mingle' - have failed to capture the imagination of the British public and have therefore been axed after a single series.

Meanwhile, 'Love Island' bosses recently announced a new set of duty of care measures for 2023.

The hit TV show - which is now hosted by Maya Jama - has previously been accused of failing to provide sufficient support for its contestants.

Dr Paul Litchfield - who reviews the measures with Dr Matthew Gould - said in a statement: "The duty of care arrangements for 'Love Island' continue to evolve in the light of advances in scientific knowledge and awareness of the pressures young people face in establishing healthy relationships.

"That culture of continuous improvement ensures that Islanders are well placed to benefit from their experience of participating in one of the UK’s most popular TV shows."

Prior to entering the villa, the contestants will receive guidance and training around mutually respectful behaviour in relationships. They will also receive guidance about inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and microaggressions.
