Paddy McGuinness will see half of the shows he fronts disappear as BBC bosses have reportedly axed I Can See Your Voice, and Catchpoint.
The former Take Me Out host has forged a successful TV career with the BBC and fronts four huge programmes- I Can See Your Voice, Top Gear, Question of Sport and Catchpoint - for the broadcaster. It's been reported that I Can See Your Voice, which launched in 2021, and Catchpoint, which began in 2019, have been cancelled.
This comes after the latest season of Top Gear had to halt production after Paddy's co-host Freddy Flintoff was seriously injured in a crash while filming. It has also been reported that Question of Sport has lost millions of viewers since Sue Barker left as host, with Paddy replacing her, reports the Mirror
A TV insider told The Sun: “This will come as a real blow to Paddy, who’s made a firm commitment to the Beeb since he quit ITV four years ago.
“Both I Can See Your Voice and Catchpoint saw him retain his place as a star of Saturday night TV, something he forged fronting dating favourite Take Me Out on ITV. But these axings mean that’s effectively gone, so he’s likely to be looking for new projects to fill the void."
“He remains hugely popular with viewers, who see him as a relatable and funny bloke they want to welcome into their living rooms. He is likely to bounce back in some way," the source added.
The second series of I Can See Your Voice aired just months ago and concluded in December, while series two of Catchpoint was last broadcast in June 2022. Alongside Paddy, there was an all-star selection of judges including Amanda Holden, Alison Hammond and Jimmy Carr.
Saturday night quiz show Catchpoint saw a pair of contestants tasked with answering questions before catching balls that are dropped from trap doors above the correct answer. The only rule for contestants was don't drop the ball with Paddy also hosting celebrity versions of the quiz.
This comes after Paddy split from wife Christine after 11 years of marriage last year. The couple share three children - Penelope, Felicity, and Leo - together.
