Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV, has confirmed the two entertainment shows will not be returning

Speaking as part of a panel at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday (24.08.22), she said: "They aren't coming back, no."

'The Games' - which was presented by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff - aired in May and featured the likes of former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Kevin Clifton, ex-'Coronation Street' actor Ryan Thomas, and model Christine McGuinness take part in Olympics-style events.

Former 'Love Island' star Wes Nelson and singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes won the first and only series.

Wes scored the highest overall points with a total of 45 across a week of events and was named overall winner, while Chelcee took gold as the top women’s celebrity athlete after competing in track and field events, as well as swimming, diving, climbing and slalom canoeing.

Ryan and Phoenix Gulzer-Brown took silver, while Josh Herdman and Rebecca Sarker won bronze.

Wes said at the time: "I’m absolutely buzzing. For me it's been more than just winning. This has been so good for my mental health, just being in and around sport again. I didn't realise how much I missed it but this was the wake-up call I needed and 100 per cent, I'm going to keep it up.

"But for me, truly, the biggest journey and the biggest transformation has been Colson ['Coronation Street' star Colson Smith, who could not swim before the competition] he deserves this trophy. He has been an absolute credit to this whole competition and has been an inspiration to all of us. All the guys have been absolutely incredible, we've made friends for life."

'Walk the Line' - which was co-produced by Simon Cowell's company Syco - aired in 2021, hosted by Maya Jama.

The show saw music acts compete for a grand final prize of £500,000, but the winner of each night's episode had to decide whether to return the next evening for fight for their chance to win the big jackpot at the end of the week.

It featured a judging panel of Gary Barlow, Craig David, Dawn French and Alesha Dixon.
