You've Been Framed was one of ITV's most iconic programmes, launching in 1990 and last airing on screen last year.
Since it premiered with presenter Jeremy Beadle fronting the show, You've Been Framed has returned several times with different hosts.
At its peak, the funny clips show, which was one of the few places viewers could watch footage of people and their unexpected mishaps, was watched by 15 million.
It's understood by The Mirror that ITV has not ruled out You've Been Framed returning at some point in the future but the series will not air this year.
A TV source shared their disappointment over the uncertainty of the classic show's future.
“It’s a different world to Jeremy Beadle’s heyday," a source said. "Why would viewers tune in to a show featuring funny videos when they could see the same sort of thing on the internet?
“Silly clips are hugely popular on social media and the right video can go viral. There’s a thrill in achieving that — even though you don’t earn the £250 fee which You’ve Been Framed paid for contributions," a source told The Sun.
The final episode of You've Been Framed to date aired last August.
Comedian Harry Hill has narrated the show since 2004 and has voiced 341 out of the 701 episodes.
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley took over from the original host Jeremy in 1998 and the actress was followed by entertainer Jonathan Wilkes, who fronted the series for one series in 2003.
In recent years, You've Been Framed viewer figures have fallen while popular video sharing sites such as YouTube and TikTok have expanded particularly among younger generations.
In a previous interview, Harry opened up on a surprising problem show bosses have to deal with when putting together the clip-based programme.
He said: “I don’t get to see the long list but I know there are a lot of fakes — and a lot of sex videos.”
When discussing his long tenure as host, Harry, 58, joked: “Maybe I should call it a day.”
The programme was based on Japanese show Fun TV With Kato-chan And Ken-chan which launched in 1986.
