BBC finally AXE £30million show Survivor after it tanked in the ratings as series becomes TV's most expensive flop EVER
The BBC was confident that two decades on it was worth giving Survivor another go NOT A SURVIVOR BBC finally AXE £30million show Survivor after it tanked in the ratings as series becomes TV's most expensive flop EVER THE BBC has officially axed challenge show Survivor despite splurging a reported £30million on the reboot. The decision means the reality programme is being seen as television's most expensive flop. 3 The BBC have axed their expensive reboot of Survivor after just one series Credit: BBC 3 An average of only 2.6 million viewers tuned in to watch Survivor when it aired in late 2023 Credit: BBC After the new version tanked in the ratings, there had been speculation that a second series was paused. Now, host Joel Dommett has posted an update revealing that it has gone for good. Former I'm A Celebrity star Joel, 40, said: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. 'I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' The format is a huge hit across the world, particularly in the US where it was aired for 25 years. It involves contestants being marooned in a remote location where they compete in challenges to win rations, supplies and rewards, plus immunity from elimination. ITV launched a UK version in 2001, hosted by Mark Austin and then Mark Nicholas, but it folded after just two series. However, the BBC was confident that, more than two decades on, it was worth giving it another go. The latest version, filmed in the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2023 was said to have cost £30million to make. Survivor shock as contestant suffers gruesome head injury in brutal challenge But it attracted an average of only 2.6million viewers when it aired that October. A source said: 'Survivor was given a plum spot in the schedule right after Strictly Come Dancing but totally tanked. I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years Joel Dommett 'Execs just can't get their head around why the UK just can't find any love for a format which is beloved around the globe. 'After a year of speculation that the BBC's remake was facing the chop, it's now official. 'It's looking like TV's most expensive flop ever.' However, Joel remains one of TV's most popular presenters and will soon be seen hosting next month's National Television Awards on ITV. He is also part of ITV's new show, Celebrity Sabotage. A dedicated website for Survivor holds the message: 'As things stand, we are not processing or taking any further applications at this time.'

Debunked: No, the Premier League has not banned players from wearing rainbow-coloured bootlaces
FALSE CLAIMS THAT the Premier League is banning rainbow laces and captain's armbands have spread widely online. The Premier League has recently ended a partnership with an LGBTQ+ charity that saw players encouraged to wear rainbow laces on their boots. However, the Premier League says it remains committed to improving LGBTQ+ inclusivity and that players can still wear rainbow laces if they wish. 'BREAKING', begins a 7 August post on Facebook shared more than 1,400 times. 'The Premier League have announced they are BANNING rainbow laces and rainbow captains armbands for the upcoming season, stating that the initiative was causing more issues than it was delivering a positive message….' Many of the messages under this post seem to interpret this as a reactionary milestone in a culture war. 'The tide is finally starting to turn in England,' reads one popular post. 'Standby for the woke meltdown in 3..2..1..' reads another. Advertisement Others were not so celebratory: 'Imagine being upset by a rainbow?' wrote one user. In any case, the claim made in the post, about a ban on rainbow accessories, is not true. Rather, it was announced earlier this month that the Premier League is cutting its ties with the charity Stonewall. The partnership had involved a famous campaign to get players to voluntarily wear rainbow laces to signal that gay people are welcome in football. A number of prominent organisations have cut ties with Stonewall in recent years, including government departments, universities, and the BBC, with some citing cost concerns, undue levels of influence, or saying they wanted to avoid the appearance of bias. However, the Premier League says that while their partnership has ended, they are now developing their own campaign to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion, expected to launch next February, and that rainbow accessories are not banned. 'It has always been a players' choice,' a Premier League spokesperson told The Journal about rainbow laces, though noted that equipment regulations generally fall under rules of the International Football Association Board rather than the Premier League. It is understood that captains have agreed to wear standard Premier League armbands going forward. However, this is not due to an official ban by the Premier League, and captains have previously worn different armbands for a season. There are currently no openly gay or bisexual players in the Premier League, according to the BBC. for guides and toolkits Want to be your own fact-checker?
