The iconic home improvement show has recently been revived by Channel 4 and despite suggestions that it's already facing the axe, a spokesperson for the broadcaster has insisted Channel 4 is pleased with the viewer numbers.

The spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: "It is far too early to have conversations about commissions. However, the show continues to be a hit, regularly securing over a million viewers."

Recently, a TV insider claimed the show was facing the chop following a dramatic decline in viewer numbers.

Channel 4 was said to be considering the show's future after the audience fell from 1.5 million for the launch, to just 500,000 a couple of weeks later.

The source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Channel 4 will be wondering what has gone wrong. A lot was put into it but it doesn’t seem to have caught on."

'Changing Rooms' originally launched on the BBC in the mid-90s and proved to be a huge hit with viewers at the time, leading to the rise of home improvement and lifestyle shows on British TV.

Meanwhile, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen - who starred on the original 'Changing Rooms' and returned for the revival - recently insisted he should be able to give "tough love" on the show.

He explained: "You can over-woke things. You will end up with no television whatsoever. But the big distinction is very straightforward.

“You show respect to people and you do that through how you say things and how polite you are.

"But you continue to say what you said and that’s important."

Laurence explained that he wants people of his generation to listen to his message and realise that no one is taking away their "freedom of speech".

He said: "It’s a message I want to send out specifically to my generation, who are furious about freedom of speech.

"Nobody’s curtailing your freedom of speech. It’s the way you express your opinion."
