Madeley then explained why he had brought up the subject of axing, admitting he had experienced a similar situation.

“The reason why I wanted you to talk about that a very similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago,” he said. “I did a pilot for a big, big new entertainment show, I was told that it had gone well.”

The presenter didn’t share any details about the show, only revealing that it had been picked up for a series and later given to another person. “We had got the commission, we got the pilot and we got a series of 30 and then they gave it to somebody else! So that’s our life.”

Elsewhere, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway recently shared a sweet milestone with her daughter Darcey. “And just like that she was off! That tiny helpless baby we brought home from hospital 18 yrs ago has gone to #uni!” Garraway shared on an Instagram post.
