ITV has axed one of its popular reality show and halted filming for the new series. The Weekender will not return for another season after 10 years on our screen.
Fans of the show enjoyed watching the antics of holiday reps in some of Europe's party destinations including Magaluf, Ibiza and Kavos. Stars from the series include David Potts, who is currently starring in The Big Celebrity Detox on E4, and Jordan Davies.
The first three series of the show were filmed at the Lively Hotel in Majorca before relocating to Ibiza from series four, reports the Mirror.

Then the show moved to Greece for the Kavos Weekender. Production started last year with the reps and revellers staying at the Morfeas Hotel. But sadly, ITV has decided to end production.
An insider told The Sun: "The cast were recently informed that planned filming later this year has now been cancelled and the show won't be coming back..
"They're all gutted as many of them have been on it for years and it's always been such a popular format.
"ITV2 have had to make some difficult decisions with the return of Big Brother taking up a big portion of the schedule later in the year, and it looks like the Weekender series is one of those casualties.
"Obviously in telly land shows can always be resurrected, so it's not necessarily gone forever, but for the foreseeable future it's off the cards."
The move seems strange after ITV was building up the current series. ITV said at the time: "The programme guarantees the ups and downs, romances and tongue-in-cheek adventures of a holiday in one of the nation’s favourite holiday hotspots."
