The third season of Ireland’s Got Talent was axed by TV chiefs tonight, it can be revealed.
Virgin Media confirmed that the show presented by Lucy Kennedy is being rested for the immediate future.
A spokeswoman told The Irish Mirror: “Virgin Media Television are tremendously proud of the show and how it has raised the bar for production in Ireland,”
“We look forward to unveiling our new season schedule as we continue to increase our commitment to great content and original Irish programming.
“Further details will be announced in due course.”
The second series of the show was won by dance troupe BSD last April and the programme represented a huge financial gain by Virgin Media.
The show boasts an eclectic mix of judges with Louis Walsh, Michelle Visage, Denise van Outen and Jason Byrne all on judging duties.
The show launched in 2018 and initially pulled in huge viewing figures for the station.
But figures have dipped in recent times as its appeal has waned and it goes up against some stiff competition.
The first episode in 2018 attracted 470,000 viewers, some 35% of the available audience.
