CHANNEL 4 has axed a celebrity host’s competition series as their cost-saving cuts continue.

Sandi, who previously presented The Great British Bake Off, fronted the series on Channel 4‘s digital channel More4.
It saw designers tasked with renovating a derelict mansion over the course of eight episodes.
However, there was a big catch – participants actually revamped a doll-sized house that was inspired by real-world designs.
TVZone report bosses at the cash-strapped channel have decided not to bring the show back.
The Celeb Report Online has contacted Channel 4 for comment.
It comes as just yesterday the station confirmed it axed another game show.
You Won’t Believe This aired last year and was hosted by comedian Ellie Taylor.
The interrogation game show format saw members of the public who consider themselves amateur sleuths listen to unbelievable stories from a series of ‘suspects’.
However, only one of them was telling the truth, so experienced police detectives tried to sort the fact from fiction by interrogating the suspects.
A spokesperson said: “Every year, Channel 4, like all broadcasters, makes decisions about which shows to rest, return or conclude to ensure we always innovate and offer viewers the best range of programming.
“The decision not to recommission You Won’t Believe This which aired in 2022 was not financial.”
