ITV 'axes' star studded musical reality show after four series

ITV is said to have axed a celebrity music show which saw the likes of Roman Kemp, Scarlett Moffatt and Jess Wright compete against each other.

Celebrity Karaoke Club ran for four series, where stars sung their hearts out in the hope of being crowned the ultimate karaoke star.

In a twist, each celeb contestant is also a judge, so they all have to vote to kick someone out of the club at the end of the night.

Yet, ITV have reportedly made the decision to not bring back the show in the near future as they have a full schedule thanks to the return of Big Brother and two series of Love Island.

"There are no immediate plans for a new series of Celebrity Karaoke Club but the show could return in the future," they told The Sun.

The show first aired back in 2020 and was renewed for a further three series thanks to its initial success.

Each series saw seven celebrities enter on the first night where they compete in a solo round by selecting a song from the playlist which has a different theme each week.

At the end of the evening, each celebrity voted for who they thought was the best and worst performer, the two worst performers competed in a Karaoke Clash and the remaining stars chose who got eliminated.

The following week, the eliminated participant was then replaced by newcomers, who are also eligible to be crowned karaoke champion.

Throughout its run, celebs including Melvin Odoom, Joel Dommett, Olivia Attwood and Chloe Sims all took part.

The first series was won by former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt and AJ Odudu bagged top spot on series two.

The Drag edition of the show was won by Trinity The Tuck and Kaz Kamwi was crowned winner of season three.

The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.

On Tuesday, the hotly anticipated hosts for Big Brother were announced as AJ Odudu and Will Best following months of speculation.

The pair will share the iconic hosting role on the main show, which returns this year on ITV after getting pulled in 2018.

They will be presiding over the weekly evictions and quizzing housemates on all of the goings on in the famous house.

Fans have long suspected AJwill host the show, and speaking of her new role, the TV presenter said: "I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier.

"Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake."
