Channel 4 bosses decided not to renew the popular daytime series of Kirstie's Handmade Christmas. The show, fronted by Kirstie Allsopp, is one of many programmes being axed as the broadcaster faces difficult decisions amid ad revenue falling.
According to reports in Deadline, Channel 4's content chief Ian Katz personally phoned Kirstie to deliver the news last Thursday. She has now confirmed that the daytime series will not be made this year, but a primetime version will air.
“I know it’s not personal,” she told Deadline. “We all take a hit on different things at different points in time. Hopefully, the ad market will improve and we’ll be back again.”
