The BBC has confirmed that it has decided to axe the reboot of Ready, Steady Cook after two series.
The '90s daytime cookery show made a comeback last year with Rylan Clark-Neal at the helm but according to The Sun, he was informed last month that it would not be returning.
"Rylan was hugely passionate about Ready, Steady, Cook and he gave everything to the show," a source told the newspaper.
"It seemed to be popular with viewers but those behind the format said audience feedback hadn't been as good as they expected."
A BBC spokesperson confirmed: "We sometimes have to make difficult decisions to grow new shows and after two brilliant series of Ready, Steady, Cook, we're making space in the schedule for some exciting new titles that we're sure viewers will enjoy.
"We are hugely grateful to Rylan and our team of chefs for making the return of the series so special."
The news comes as Clark-Neal returns to work following an extended break due to the break-up of his marriage.
