Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow was a highly entertaining and beloved show that captured audiences for three amazing seasons. However, despite its popularity, reports have recently surfaced that it will not be returning to ITV. This news may come as a disappointment to fans, but it seems the decision has been made to officially "axe" the show.
In each episode, the charismatic Alan Carr, who is 47 years old, brought back classic game show formats from previous ITV shows. These included beloved games like Play Your Cards Right, Bullseye, and The Price Is Right. The show would then culminate in a thrilling new game called the "epic endgame."
While most episodes featured regular members of the public competing against each other, there were also special celebrity editions that featured well-known faces like Harry Redknapp, Martin Kemp, and Ranvir Singh. It was a fun and family-friendly show that appealed to a wide audience.
The first episode of Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow was watched by an impressive 4.3 million viewers, but the numbers dipped to 2.3 million by the third episode. Despite this, the show's finale was a hit, but it seems that bosses decided to quietly shelve the show after its run.
According to a TV insider, Alan himself is not too upset about the show's cancellation. "Alan won't be taking this too hard," they shared. "The three seasons that Epic Gameshow ran for on ITV were well received and it's not like he's short of other projects." And they were right, as Alan has plenty of other exciting projects in the works.
On ITV, he will be hosting a word association game show called Password with This Country star Daisy May Cooper, as well as a second season of Changing Ends, a semi-autobiographical series about Alan's upbringing in Northampton. Over on the BBC, he has a number of projects, including Interior Design Masters, Amanda and Alan's Spanish Job, and another game show called Picture Slam. It's safe to say that Alan is keeping himself busy!
This news also comes after the recent shelving of Alan's musical talent show, Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream, which he co-hosted with Zoe Ball. The show, which aired in October last year, featured 14 talented individuals competing for a chance to star in the West End production of the hit Abba musical. However, an ITV spokesperson confirmed that the show was only ever intended to be a one-off series to celebrate the musical's 25th anniversary.
It's clear that Alan has a lot on his plate and is constantly in demand for his hosting skills and entertaining personality. While it's sad to see Epic Gameshow go, fans can still enjoy rewatching past episodes on ITVX. And who knows, maybe there will be another exciting project in the works for Alan in the future. After all, he is a busy man and always has something up his sleeve.
