ITV has reportedly decided not to produce a new series of The Masked Dancer this year.
The show - a spinoff of the hugely-popular The Masked Singer - features mystery celebrities dancing inside elaborate costumes as a judging panel attempt to figure out their identities.
The Masked Dancer has aired two series in the UK, in 2021 and again in 2022, but The Sun says that it will not return for a third run in 2023.
A source told the newspaper: "Fans will be gutted, but The Masked Dancer is being rested for 2023.
"Instead, ITV are showing the Rugby World Cup over the autumn.
"This doesn't mean it can't come back in 2024, and ITV have plans for other specials like The Masked Singer I'm A Celeb show."
The current series of The Masked Singer concludes Saturday at 7pm on ITV1.
