Sue Perkins, the beloved host of the popular reality show, has been in the news lately due to reports that her show, Double The Money, will not be renewed for a second season. The show, which was likened to The Apprentice, featured 13 couples from the British general public competing to double a set amount of money in a certain time limit. Each week, the couples faced a ruthless elimination if they were unable to meet the challenge.
The final episode of the show saw the remaining couples trying to double £10,000 to £20,000 in just four weeks. The team that made the most money won the grand prize of £20,000, in addition to the money they had earned throughout the competition. The show featured a variety of creative and unconventional ways for the couples to raise money, from car washes to bingo nights to erotic art workshops. However, it seems that these efforts were not enough to secure a second season for the show.
According to TV Zone, Double The Money has been cancelled, joining a growing list of cancelled reality shows in recent months. Other shows that have faced the chopping block include Rise and Fall, Ninja Warrior UK, Tenable, Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow, and Puzzling with Lucy Worsley. It seems that the reality TV landscape in the UK is facing some challenges.
While Sue Perkins may be disappointed that her show will not be returning for a second season, she is keeping busy with other projects. In November 2024, she released her latest travel documentary, Sue Perkins' Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul, on Apple TV Plus. In an interview on The One Show, she shared her hopes that viewers would learn to be more adventurous and not be afraid to take risks.
The comedian also reflected on her own experiences with travel, recalling her early days of being reserved and over-prepared for any situation. Now, she travels with just a rucksack and has learned to embrace the unknown. In addition to her travel show, Sue also appeared in a series about Alaska for Channel 5 in 2023.
In an interview with the i, Sue shared her thoughts on what makes a good presenter. She believes that the role of a presenter is to be a sponge, to learn from experts and share that knowledge with viewers, while having fun and being grateful for the opportunity to see and experience new things.
For fans of Double The Money, fear not, as the show is still available to stream on Channel 4. And for those who were hoping for a second season, there may still be hope as Metro has reached out to Channel 4 for comment. In the meantime, Sue Perkins continues to be a beloved figure in the entertainment world, and we can't wait to see what adventures she takes us on next.
