TV quiz show, Lightning, has been cancelled by the BBC following two seasons on our screens.
Host Zoe Lyons, who is also known for her popular comedy work, expressed her devastation at the decision on Twitter.
The concept of the programme is as follows: contestants go head to head with one another in order to win a prize of £3,000, if they answer a question correctly then they can pass the light onto another player, the Mirror reports.

The contestant that has the light land on them when the timer hits zero is removed from the game.
Sharing a photo of her glittery blazer hung up on a coat hanger, Zoe tweeted: "Sadly all good quizzes must come to an end but I can’t tell you what a joy it was to work on @lightningquiz for @bbc2.
“We made 2 cracking series and I loved every second of working with my pals at BBC Belfast. Every contestant was a [star emoji] and you can still catch up on @BBCiPlayer.”
A BBC spokesperson told the Daily Star : "Lightning has had two great series but we need to make room for new opportunities. We'd like to thank Zoe and the team for all their hard work."
Devastated fans took to Twitter to share their sadness over the end of the show, with one tweeting: "That’s a shame, Zoe. It was definitely a very unique quiz, and I actually had an audition to be on the second series, and I thought I might’ve swung it by wearing this in my Zoom audition… Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be, although I do love your jacket! Defo need one!"
While another commented: "Oh no im absolutely gutted such a shame we wont be seeing another series. I hope you get another show soon Zoe as you were brilliant on lighting there'll never be another quiz like this. Awww i will miss it are you doing any comedy gigs soon?"
A third wrote: "Really sorry to hear this - it was a great show, you were a brilliant host, and it was immensely enjoyable to take part in as a contestant. Col (aka Grizzly Doyle!)."
