BBC axes two prime time shows in 'difficult decision' amid programming shake-up

The BBC has axed two celebrity-fronted prime time shows in a major programming shake-up in order to "make way for new shows".

The broadcaster confirmed that BBC One show Eat Well For Less has been cancelled, eight years on from its debut in 2015. Originally presented by Chris Bavin and Masterchef's Gregg Wallace, the show helped families across the UK save money on their food shop, with Britain's Got Talent star Jordan Banjo taking on a presenting role alongside Chris following Gregg's departure in 2021.

Shop Well For Less, presented by Melanie Sykes and Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, has also had the chop by the BBC, The Mirror reports. First hosted by Alex Jones and Steph McGovern, the money-saving show saw the presenters help households change the way they shop without changing their lifestyle, offering tips and tricks for viewers at home to save cash.
