The next series of reality TV show Don't Tell The Bride will be broadcast on BBC One.
There had been fears that because BBC Three was moving online, the programme might be cancelled. First shown in 2008, Don't Tell The Bride follows the journey of different couples as the groom is put in charge of planning their upcoming weddings. Although featuring mostly heterosexual relationships, it's also featured same sex couples. According to BBC One Controller Charlotte Moore, the new look Don't Tell The Bride will still "retain all the elements fans of the show love but re-imagined for a broad audience". It's believed that to cater more for BBC One's target audience the show will feature older couples. The budget for planning the wedding will remain at £12,000. Last week BBC Three Controller Damian Kavanagh confirmed to Newsbeat that Don't Tell The Bride would be one of the show's axed if plans for the channel to move to online only got the go-ahead. He said: "We have to be absolutely ruthless about deciding which programmes are suited to this online world." The proposal to drop the channel from TV still has to be approved by the group which runs the corporation on behalf of viewers, the BBC Trust. The move online would save money, but Damian Kavanagh denies the quality of programmes will suffer despite the budget been cut from £85m to £25m. A spokesperson for Renegade Pictures, the company that makes Don't Tell The Bride, said: "The team is thrilled to be bringing the real life, romantic comedy of Don't Tell the Bride, to a BBC One audience. "It's fascinating to see what marriage means to people of varying ages in modern Britain, and not just to the couple themselves, but to their wider family and children, whose lives are all impacted by the big day." http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/30486111
