BBC 'axes' Gordon Ramsay's cooking show weeks after ITV pull plug on host
Gordon Ramsay's BBC show Future Food Stars is said to have been given the boot by the corporation after airing for just two seasons.
The programme which saw budding chefs put through their paces failed to bring in mega-ratings for the network.
No episode of the show fronted by the infamous potty-mouthed chef brought in over two million viewers.
As the seasons continued, the grande finale was beaten by ITV's comedy programme, It'll Be Alright On The Night.
It's claimed that the second series of the programme had been commissioned before the first series finished airing in the Spring of 2022, according to TV Zone.

Viewers had previously slammed the show, branding one contestant "nasty" after he appeared to make comments aimed at his fellow co-stars.
During one episode, Andy appeared to poke fun at Kier's appearance, saying: "I just want to put Kier on the candyfloss. I think myself and Amy might be a bit more digestible to the public, especially with our target market. Keir and his eyeliner behind a pink stand might not make the most sense."
"Andy's a nasty piece of work," commented one fan.
While a second penned: "Andy gives me bad vibes. Especially the way he spoke about Kier."
"Andy was wrong and always wants the limelight," wrote a third.

The programme was produced by Gordon's own production company, Studio Ramsay.
Over the course of the series, 12 chefs battled it out to be crowned the winner and were judged by Gordon as well as mentors Paul Ainsworth and Nyesha Arrington.
The champion also won a whopping £100,000 as well as a year of being mentored by the legendary chef.

A source at the time said: "Gordon is highly competitive and he's gutted the series wasn't given a second run.
"These types of shows always take a while to get going and for viewers to connect, so he thinks it wasn't really given a proper chance.
"But he accepts TV is a brutal world and sometimes shows just don't work out."
The Mirror approached the BBC for comment ahead of publication.
