No decision on new Footie Wives series
Monday, April 10 2006, 11:46 BST - by Kris Green

Despite reports in the weekend tabloids, no decision has been made regarding a sixth series of the hit ITV drama Footballers' Wives.

Stories suggesting that the show is to be be axed after its current series ends due to lacklustre ratings have been fabricated.

As with all productions, ITV decides whether to recommission a new series after the current run ends. Head honchos at the channel have not had any meetings with Footballers' Wives bosses.

An insider for the show told DS: "We're winning our slot and there have been no meetings with ITV. We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks."

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

ITV today confirmed it has axed Footballers' Wives, the drama that came to define the loadsamoney soccer lifestyle of the early noughties.

There had been speculation over the future of the series after ratings dipped below 4 million in the competitive 9pm slot.

She added that Shed was in discussions with the broadcaster about new drama ideas.


It's been officially axed now. Boo Hoo.... Now I'm wondering about FW: Extra Time and how that wraps up. :mmmmmmmmm
