The Jump has been marred with injuries throughout the latest season, and now it’s finally getting the axe.

According to The Sun, Channel 4 plan to cancel the winter sports show because of falling viewing figures.

‘The feeling among the show team is that this has been the worst series yet,’ a show source claimed. ‘After so many injuries, the celebrities are terrified of everything — and then the viewer ratings have fallen off a massive cliff. Yes, there has been a lot of controversy about people getting injured, but that isn’t the problem. At the end of the day, this comes down to business.

‘The show is just not pulling in the viewing figures to justify the huge amount being spent on it.’

The launch episode last month secured an audience of 2.3million with last week’s semi-final getting only 1.6million viewers.

A showspokesperson has denied the claims: ‘The Jump has been hugely successful, averaging over two million viewers. Last Sunday it helped Channel 4 to be the most watched commercial channel across the day.

‘It is categorically untrue to suggest the show has been axed.’

This season has seen Beth Tweddle, Rebecca Adlington and Tina Hobley sustain serious injuries and forcing them out of the competition.

The final tonight will see Ben Cohen, Tamara Beckwith, Sid Owen and Dean Cain compete to become the 2016 Jump champion.

I can't really say that I've got a strong opinion on this tbh. I'd like it to come back but I'd totally understand if they did axe it.
