THE BBC has axed talent show Strictly Dance Fever after only two series.

They pulled the plug on the amateur dance contest after How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? scored higher ratings.

Beeb chiefs now want host Graham Norton, 43, to concentrate on musical talent shows.

And they are set to reveal plans for a follow-up to Maria — also hosted by Norton — expected to be a hunt for a lead for productions Joseph or Grease.

An insider said: “Dance Fever was great but Maria proved audiences have a real passion for those types of shows.”

Dance Fever was a centrepiece of Saturday night but had only about four million viewers. Maria got more than five million.

Meanwhile, Graham is set to host his new BBC2 chatshow from February. The half-hour programme will air on Thursdays.

[Lil-Lindz]

Good, I never liked that show anyway

[Bells]

I never really watched it, so obviously I'm not bothered. Must be why they axed it, the ratings just weren't high enough.

[Lil-Lindz]

Lol the reason why they axexd it is because it never caught on

[andybigbro]

i dont watch it

[Princess]

I was addicted to the last series!

[Lil-Lindz]

I never really watched it, like SCD it bored me just a bit Lol

[Legend]

I am guttered about that, it was one of my favourite reality shows, my favourite talent show. 10x better than SCD, i was REALLY looking forward to the new series, Maria is a load of $hite. I hope the new show flops.
