DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has hinted that the hit BBC show could be cancelled in the future, following worrying news from the broadcaster.
The 59-year-old TV presenter took to Twitter to share with fans of the show the news that the Beeb had not commissioned any further episodes, after a DIY SOS fan asked whether the team could help a family in need.
Nick explained that only one episode of the show had been commissioned, and it was for the charity show Children In Need.
He wrote: “Sadly, we are only commissioned by BBC One for one build this year for Children In Need, and as yet not commissioned for any builds next year.
“We know there is great need and we can help many more people and communities so we are hopeful of getting news soon.”
Fans flooded the comments section to respond as they lamented the loss of the TV show from their screens this year.
“That's so sad to hear, Nick,” one wrote. “A wonderful programme and exceptional service to communities around the country. I hope BBC One commission more soon.”
“Hopefully next year, work the show and the whole team does to help people in difficult times is inspiring,” a second agreed.
It comes after Nick was forced to step back from the show after 21 years as its host, when he broke the BBC’s advertising and sponsorship guidelines.
Nick filmed a cereal advert with Shreddies, in which he played a builder, and is said to have breached BBC rules.
The most recent series of the show proved to be an emotional one, as DIY SOS fans saw Nick brought to tears on a number of occasions.
In one episode, the show turned emotional when the team set to work on transforming an adventure playground with a traumatic backstory.
Nick fronted the project at the site in Southmead, Bristol, which fell into disrepair and was left completely unfit for purpose.
Known locally as The Ranch, the oldest adventure playground in Bristol was burned down by vandals, leaving locals in tears, and forced to rebuild on two separate occasions.
However, everything changed when presenter Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team came down to Bristol along with an army of volunteers.
One of the playworkers, Lil, described it as a "miracle" and the team quickly sought donations of labour and materials, while the Trust was able to pledge funds to pay for the rest.
As the 59-year-old freshly instated host unveiled one special part of the revamp, he was overcome with emotion and was forced to tearfully walk away from the scene.
The Mirror has contacted the BBC for comment.
