SM:TV TURN OFF
KIDS' show SM:TV, hosted by Brian Dowling and Tess Daly, is facing the axe because of dismal ratings.
ITV bosses are ready to ditch the ailing Saturday morning format which they feel hasn't worked since the departure of Ant and Dec two years ago.
The Geordie duo regularly pulled in two million viewers, but the current series is attracting just half that number - the same as BBC1's The Saturday Show.
Audiences are said to have grown tired of Brian's camp manner and domineering presenting style. The departure of producer David Staite has also added to the chaos.
Station chiefs are now looking for a replacement show, with CITV host Stephen Mulhern in the frame to front it.
SM:TV has been given one last chance to raise its game with a "soft" revamp.
But a TV source revealed: "It's gone off the boil, and the feeling is that it's time for something new.
"ITV has led the Saturday morning ratings for so long that nobody can believe the BBC has been allowed to catch up."

Oh dear!
I don't watch SM:tv every week, but when I do I always enjoy it a lot. Especially Brian, who is always extremely funny and enthusiastic - he has a great rapport with Tess as well.
I do think they could vary the guests they have on, though - flippin' Westlife were on AGAIN yesterday.

(or was that C

UK? ) They're usually on one or the other every week.
