Holly Willoughby suffers setback as show 'axed' after 'not landing with viewers'
Holly Willoughby's BBC quiz show 'Take Off' has been axed after one series.The show, which was co-hosted by The Chase's Bradley Walsh, saw members of the audience compete each week to win luxury holidays abroad last summer.However, despite the incredible prizes and well-known presenters, the show failed to impress viewers as many were unable to go travelling at the time it aired due to coronavirus restrictions.According to The Express, the show had been filmed before the pandemic but only aired on our screens in the summer of 2021.Take Off was produced by Hungry Bear Media, which is owned by Holly Willoughby's husband Dan Baldwin.The show, which consisted of four episodes, has now reportedly been shelved as it appeared to be 'too difficult' to get the winners of the show on holiday.A source told The Sun that travel was much easier when the show was filmed prior to the pandemic.They said: "Now, it’s more difficult with so many restrictions. It didn’t land with viewers who were grounded."According to the publication, the BBC did not comment on the claims.Despite the show being axed, the source said Holly and Bradley had great on-screen chemistry and loved working together.Last year, Bradley admitted that he didn't know the rules of Take Off and that he leaves that to his co-host, Holly.He said: "I leave that to Holly - she is the nuts and bolts of it all.
