Quite shocked at this and doesn't bode well for the future of the show after next year. I thought they'd at least trial a shorter format or fewer days a week rather than axe it completely, although I understand that ratings have slumped and they've struggled to find audience members this series

I didn't watch it very often so probably won't miss it too much but it was nice having it there if I wanted an additional fix after the highlights and sometimes it was quite entertaining. I also think both AJ and Will are much better as L&L presenters than they are on the main show so this will expose them even more to criticism

I've never watched a whole programme.

I dipped into it last year but it's way too shouty and the guests just ramble on.

It's a waste of time and money.

I wonder what that means for gigs for past HMs and if another show will replace it with a different host.

And what does it mean for backdoor evictions

I feel like this is either the start of a major overhaul which will benefit the show or the start of budget cuts and then salami slicing off different parts of BB until we're left without a show anymore. Could be live feed going next

If it goes I won’t be sad
After this years series I’m surprised it’s survived

I think this will be a good idea. Actually, while watching some of the past guests I thought that some of them would make better presenters than AJ

He normally makes good points to be fair

If I would have to guess I would imagine that the panelists were part of the problem .. along with AJ


Looking online the vast majority of viewers only watched the show when Will was presenting it … the producers will present have taken note


Plus the hosts couldn’t control the guests

Cameron B was his loud and obnoxious self and Caroline ran rings around Will and Aj

The actual format was decent enough imho

Ratings have slumped because of the hosts and the freaks they get on the show.

Go Woke, go broke.

pandering to a tiny minority of degenerates that do not represent the people who watch the show.

Maybe if they'd focused less on fulfilling a racial/sexual quota for the guest panellists and more on actually producing a good show, it would have lasted. As it is, L&L was more of an experiment in social engineering than the main show itself is. Can only hope it's replaced with something far better. But the rot starts with the production team and so I won't hold my breath.

My husband had a hilarious reaction bc I inadvertantly had him sit through part of L&L because I wanted him present for something else I was doing. I have never seen him want to vacate so badly. He said it was too cringe. I think our marriage was being tested in that moment.

You mean people didn't want to tune in every day after an episode to see what Zeze Mills, David Potts and Jojo Siwa thought?

The reason the older sideshows performed relatively well - and still do for bigger shows such as Strictly, Traitors, the Bake Off, etc - is that they would get (so-called) experts in to shed light on personality types, relationship dynamics, the psychology of being confined etc. Now of course the show is less popular, and the "24/7 no outside world" fundamental has pretty much all but dissipated, there's nothing left to talk about so we just get some twats in to say "I think she's fake" and clap and laugh at toilet humour.

It's a shame it's axed entirely because it certainly could have been tweaked first: different presenters gave it its own identity in the past (Dermot, or Russell, or Rylan etc.) and like others have said, reducing the number of episodes of week could've still made it an interesting watch. The sad fact is: as it was, most people cannot be bothered to watch an episode of the same show every day, let alone an hour of some Z-listers scrambling around with no professionalism or talent afterwards under the ring-leading of two largely terrible presenters, afterwards as well.

Let’s be honest, L&L was bloody awful most nights. I gave up watching a lot of the time.

I think this is the start of ITV axing civilian BB completely, especially given how poorly this season was received and performed.

If ITV axes BB completely,then I bet yet another channel or stream service will pick it up.
