Major ITV gameshow hosted by Joel Dommett axed after only two series on air
A major ITV gameshow hosted by Joel Dommet has been axed after only two seasons on air.
In With A Shout saw families compete to win £20,000 by shouting at TV screens every Saturday night.
Each screen would represent a different category, such as 'breeds of dogs' or 'Oscar-winning actors', which contestants had to guess by watching montages of relevant clips.
The show's first season aired in April 2023, with the second coming out at the same time this year.
Despite being in a prime time weekend spot, In With A Shout only ever got ratings of around 2.3million.
ITV have confirmed they will not being renewing the show for a third season next year and cannot say if it will ever come back.

A TV insider told The Sun: 'Despite having a hugely popular host in the form of Joel, In With a Shout didn't make quite the same impact as other Saturday night shows.
'It certainly didn't have the same appeal as his other big gig, The Masked Singer.
'So it's easy to see why ITV might be thinking carefully about the show's future, though at this stage they aren't saying it's been given the chop.
'Joel is embarking on a nationwide comedy tour in the early part of next year - but it's unclear whether the show's being paused for that reason, or whether he's doing the tour because the show's been paused.
'Gameshows are a highly competitive market and ITV have already confirmed a raft of them will be returning in 2025.'
Joel will be taking off on his Happy Idiot tour from February to June next year.
As the host of three primetime shows and a regular on breakfast TV, hardly a week goes by without the 39-year-old appearing on the small screen.
But success didn't come overnight for Joel, who moved to London from Gloucestershire at the age of 19 to pursue a career in comedy.
After doing the stand-up circuit for a few years, he managed to land a spot on comedy current affairs show Russell Howard's Good News in 2011.
But it would be another five years before Joel's fame reached a new level when he was the runner-up on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016.
Since then, Joel has become one of the busiest presenters on TV and boasts a net worth of over £2million.
