ITV has apparently cancelled Gino D’Acampo’s programme Cooking Up Love as part of a significant reorganisation of their airing schedule.
The 46-year-old TV chef, who rose to prominence as the head of the kitchen on This Morning, hosted the series that helped single people find love via food.
However, it looks that the series’ days are numbered after only two episodes, with ITV executives opting not to proceed with the production.
Triple Brew, which also manages The Cube, Lingo, and Celebrity Lingo, was in talks with the broadcaster about expanding the series.
A source said: ‘There were meaningful discussions about commissioning further episodes, but ultimately it was decided to ditch the concept.’
Speaking to The Sun, however, the source clarified that ITV would be ‘still working with Gino on a number of other shows this year’.

Triple Brew, which also manages The Cube, Lingo, and Celebrity Lingo, was in talks with the broadcaster about expanding the series.
However, it appears that his schedule has played a role in the lack of a new series, with the Italian chef also presenting Family Fortunes.
The revival of the family quiz show presently airs on Sunday nights, with the most recent season – the fourth of the reboot – ending in May.
Gino will also be a regular figure on This Morning, having returned to the show after presenter Phillip Schofield resigned amid a controversy.
The former co-host, who co-hosted the show with Holly Willoughby, admitted to lying to his family about an affair he had with a 20-year-old runner on the show.
Gino remarked upon his return, “I was in Italy for a month.” I returned two days ago. Is there any news? ‘Is there anything from the last month that I should be aware of?’
