Cancellation
The series ended in 2003 when, during the first episode - the first to be broadcast live - Black announced she was quitting the show. The production crew had not been told. Production was halted after the series ended; Trisha Goddard, Dale Winton, Paul O'Grady, Ant & Dec, Claire Sweeney and Jerry Springer were to be in line for her replacement but the show was cancelled. However, ITV briefly aired a similar show hosted by Davina McCall, called Love on a Saturday Night and since 2010, Take Me Out, hosted by Paddy McGuinness.
