Ian Wright has been axed from TV show Live From Studio Five.

Broadcaster Five said his contract had been “coming to an end and the decision was taken not to renew it”.

A source close to Wright said he had fallen out with the show’s bosses after refusing to promote Five talent show Don’t Stop Believing on the programme.

The source told BBC News the former footballer was not a fan of the Saturday night talent show, described by Five as a “showcase of choirs, musical performance groups and singing extravaganzas”.

Former Apprentice contestant Walsh added: “We’ve had a brilliant time working with Ian and he’s been ace to spend time with every evening.

Wright’s final appearance, on Wednesday, was seen by 140,000 viewers, according to early figures.

I haven’t watch the Saturday night talent show or Live from Studio Five, so cant really comment! But lets hope he goes onto bigger and better things!
