Amanda Holden may be soaking up the sun overseas with her showbiz pals, but she’ll be returning home to Blighty to some bad news after her Netflix TV show was cancelled.
Amanda, 54, and Celebs Go Dating star Paul C Brunson hosted the first series of dating show Cheat: Unfinished Business on the streaming service earlier this year.
However, despite good ratings, Netflix has now announced the show won’t be getting a second outing.

Amanda Holden’s Netflix dating show axed
Netflix has said it has axed Cheat: Unfinished Business.
The show, which was filmed in Majorca, saw eight ex-couples who broke up because of infidelity head to a luxury retreat to work out their differences. The news comes in spite of high ratings for the show.
A Netflix spokesman confirmed: “Cheat: Unfinished Business won’t be returning.”
When the series was announced, Amanda divided viewers as host because she has been open about cheating on first husband Les Dennis.
“Amanda Holden knows all about cheating. Talk about pot, kettle!” said one Tweeter at the time. Another added: “A show about exes who cheated? Surely Amanda Holden should be fronting this programme with Les Dennis?” A third said: “It gets worse, Amanda Holden is hosting a show about cheating! The [bleep]ing irony of it when SHE cheated on Les Dennis!”
