Reality series Survivor will not be back for a third installment, ITV have confirmed.

According to The People today, bosses at the network have decided not to try for third time lucky following the failure of the first two series in the ratings.

A second series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here -- which peaked at over 12 million viewers for the final -- is in the works, however, and is likely to air in March.

Amongst the names being touted for the series at this stage are ex-EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook, model Emma Noble and footballer Paul Gascoigne.

Its a shame because i Realy liked Survivor

I myself think there is far too many reality tv shows trying to ride on BB's glory so its good 1 of them has popped there clogs.

I liked Survivor aswell. That's a shame.:bawling :

But then again I'm looking forward to March now! IACGMOOH is back!!! Can't wait to see Gazza on it

Any Idea if Ant and Dec are going to present it again?

[BigSister]

I will muss Survivior too

Anyway IACGMOOH will be back

[Mairi]

I couldn't take to Survivor, I'm afraid. It just wasn't my "cup of tea".

Looking forward to the next IACGMOOH, though. It would be nice if Ant and Dec were to present it again.

It's a pity that there isn't going to be a new series of Survivor. I really enjoyed the last one. Much more the Big Brother 3.

I think it is disappointing that they have chosen IACGMOOH instead. It is very much Survivor-lite, I thought. But I suppose it is understandable given the relative costs of each series and the ratings they got.

Incidentally, Bob Geldof's company, that owns the format to Survivor, is supposed to be suing the makers of IACGMOOH for stealing the idea.

Ananova story from September

It's interesting that in America, Survivor is a big hit (there have been 5 series now) and Big Brother is seen as a bit of a flop - the reverse of here.
