It has been announced that ‘Strictly Dance Fever’ has been axed by the BBC after just two series.

TV bosses decided to drop the show after it failed to meet the ratings of the BBC’s ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’

BBC bosses now want Graham Norton, who hosted both reality shows, to focus on the follow-up of ‘Maria’, which is expected to look for the next star of West End productions ‘Joseph’ or ‘Grease’.

A source said: “‘Dance Fever’ was great but ‘Maria’ proved audiences have a real passion for those types of shows.”
