Alison Hammond has reportedly faced another career setback, with her Channel 4 show, Your Song at risk of being axed.
According to the reports, the viewers have lost interest in the show, with many claiming it is too similar to The Piano.
For the unversed, the 51-year-old presenter hosted the programme, with Sam Ryder and Paloma Faith serving as mentors.
Channel 4 bosses are reportedly considering canceling the series after just one season due to disappointing viewing figures.
According to reports, the launch episode attracted 755,000 viewers, but that figure dropped to 380,000 by the final.
Meanwhile, Alison’s BBC One show, Big Weekender, had also been axed.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Officially no decision has been taken on the future of the show, but behind the scenes, those involved in the programme are talking about it not making it to a second series.
‘Tough decisions are being made about the cost of making a show compared to the ratings it enjoys and Your Song’s viewing figures didn’t quite match up to the cost of the project.
‘Having a big name host and a big production company behind it meant it wasn’t cheap to make and they need to see a return on the investment.’
Despite the reported setback, Alison still has a busy schedule, fronting This Morningand presenting For the Love of Dogs, Great British Bake Off and ITV’s Name That Tune.
