The show was originally cancelled in 2012 after the third series but an announcement was made for a revival series to be aired in 2018 on a new channel with an all-new judging line up and presenter.[2] According to reports, the revival's premiere achieved only 30,000 viewers. Throughout the season, the show's viewership has been between 10,000 to 70,000 viewers. The finale only had 40,000 viewers.

The revival was shortly canceled after the final show.
