ITV has confirmed that despite strong viewership ratings, Celebrity Lingo will not return for a second season.
The spin-off on the daytime quiz gameshow - which is hosted by RuPaul - saw famous faces attempt to fill in the blanks to find missing words to win cash prizes. And regardless of it's popularity, bosses at the leading broadcaster have decided to pull the plug.
The normal version of the show, presented by Good Morning Britain's Adil Ray will continue to air each weekday at 3pm meanwhile.

The Mirror reports that ITV has elsewhere invested in bringing Big Brother to screens across the UK - returning later this year. What's more, the broadcaster has swooped to bring another former Channel 4 show in another major shake-up.
That's because Deal or No Deal will make a grand return, fronted by Stephen Mulhern instead of beloved host Noel Edmonds. Past presenter Noel had an eleven year tenure with the show after it launched in 2005, but now under a seven-year lay-off, it will be back with a twist on ITV.
It is said that the new season will see: "A brand-new setting with brand-new prize boxes and a new batch of contestants".
Britain's Got More Talent host Stephen has also said that he's excited about the revival, adding that he's a 'huge fan of the show'. He said: "Wow what an opportunity, I’m beyond excited to be hosting the brand-new series.
"I’ve always been such a huge fan of the show, so much so, I’ve been practising at home with small cereal boxes! It looks so simple but it’s an incredibly compelling game for both those playing and the viewers watching at home."
He continued: "It’s one of the greatest shows of all time and to be the new host is an honour. I can’t wait to get started."
