Cannonball: Brutally Axed After One Series

The show in question, Cannonball, first aired on ITV in 2017 but was abruptly axed after just one series. The throwback pictures feature a fresh-faced Maya among other TV stars including singer Frankie Bridge and cricket legend Freddie Flintoff, as well as CBBC presenter Radzi Chinyananya and Ryan Hand. In the show, Flintoff served as the main host and narrator, while Maya and the other presenters acted as poolside reporters.

ITV's Costly Decision

Why was Cannonball cancelled? According to insider sources, the show's poor ratings and high production costs were the main factors behind its cancellation. The show had to be filmed in Malta to compensate for the unpredictable UK weather, resulting in expensive travel and accommodation expenses for the contestants and crew. Furthermore, the show had five hosts, including Freddie Flintoff, whose salary added to the show's overall cost.

ITV's Decision to Put Cannonball on Hold

Despite the show's cancellation, an ITV spokesperson stated that it was merely on hold and praised its ambitious scale and appearance. However, the show failed to connect with the audience, leading to its postponement. It remains to be seen if Cannonball will ever make a comeback.
