You’ve Been Framed has reportedly been axed after 33 years on air.
The long-running ITV show, which compiled home videos of accidents and funny moments, was launched in 1990. Jeremy Beadle was the original narrator.
Most recently, comedian Harry Hill was serving as presenter, fronting 341 of 701 episodes.
As reported by The Sun, the series – which once attracted 15 million people in its prime – is coming to an end.
An insider told the publication: “The fact that You’ve Been Framed has been shelved is a sad sign of the times.”
They continued: “It’s a different world to Jeremy Beadle’s heyday. Why would viewers tune in to a show featuring funny videos when they could see the same sort of thing on the internet?
“Silly clips are hugely popular on social media and the right video can go viral. There’s a thrill in achieving that – even though you don’t...

Three of Holland’s most decorated players have announced they will take part in Soccer Aid for Unicef this summer.
Patrick Kluivert will make his debut for the Soccer Aid World XI, with Jaap Stam returning at the heart of the defence in front of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar who has also starred previously.
