Jamie Oliver 's new show The Great Cookbook Challenge has been axed after just one instalment by Channel 4 bosses.
The cooking show saw 18 chefs battle it out to win a book publishing deal in order to release their own cookbooks and follow in the successful footsteps of Jamie, 47, who is worth an estimated £240million thanks to his cooking shows and recipe books.
Although the ratings for The Great Cookbook Challenge were relatively successful, Channel 4 bosses have decided not to renew the programme for another series, axing it after just one season.
