Popular BBC show with big name host dropped after just two series
A POPULAR BBC show with a big name has been axed after just two series on screens.
Comedian Katherine Ryan‘s talent show All That Glitters has been dropped from BBC Two‘s schedules.
Website TV Zone report bosses at the Beeb have decided the show won’t return for a third run.
The show saw eight talented jewellers battle it out over the course of the six weeks, designing and creating jewellery to brief.
Katherine, 39, hosted the programme from Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
The first episode of the show pulled in an impressive 2.6 million viewers with the entire series averaging 2.3 million.
All That Glitters series two finale last September caused outrage with fans who branded the show a ‘fix’.
Furious viewers took to social media to complain after ‘smithy’ Piers was crowned the winner of the series after two tense final rounds.
Piers Carpenter, Emma White and Jack Mitchell went head-to-head in the final show of the series to be crowned winner of All That Glitters.
They were challenged with two designs, one sapphire engagement ring, and a second statement necklace for a famous face.
Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas visited the jewellery makers to decide on a favourite statement piece before judges Dinny Hall and Shaun Leane made the final decision.
But fans of the crafting series were left disappointed at the result, as despite Emma coming in first place in both challenges, Piers was crowned the winner.
When contacted by The Sun Online a spokesperson for the BBC confirmed All That Glitters would not be returning.
