A STRICTLY Come Dancing winner's show has been shelved by ITV after one series on air.
The dance star lifted the glitterball trophy last December with his pro partner Dianne Buswell in a historic win.
Since then, Chris McCausland has been inundated with TV work offers and even starred in his own Christmas movie with comedian Lee Mack.
However, in a blow to the blind comic, his ITV chat show has been pulled off air after one series.
The programme - titled The Chris McCausland Show - debuted last year on Saturday mornings on ITV1.
It was part of a schedule shakeup, which saw bosses axe Laura Whitmore and Oti Mabuse's similar shows.
A source said: "ITV appears to be moving away from studio-based chat shows in their weekend schedule.
"In the last number of years they've invested heavily in their daytime programmes and have given new faces an opportunity to shine.
"Chris was a breath of a fresh air, but ultimately there are no plans for his show to return."
All 11 episodes of Chris' first series are available now to stream on ITVX.
The 47-year-old has already landed another telly gig - on rival channel the BBC - with a one-off special documentary exploring the future of technology.
He'll explore how new tech will impact him personally as he lives with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that took his eyesight when he was a child.
Meanwhile, Loose Women star Katie Piper has had her programme renewed for a third outing, but with a major shakeup.
The 41-year-old has ditched her studio in favour for a countryside backdrop, with ITV rebranding the show Katie Piper’s Weekend Escape.
Oti Mabuse has addressed her ITV series being axed in a new interview.
Speaking to Prima, Oti said: “When I look back on Strictly, I think the whole seven-year journey was amazing.
"I still work on the show. I still do choreography, I’m still talking to the producers.
"I say that the show brought me everything, like me sitting here today, and the relationship still very much continues.
"There were ups, there were downs; if you can imagine being the first Black anything, anywhere, there will always be ups and downs."
