The Xtra Factor has been axed after 12 years on air.
This year, the spin-off show was hosted by Rylan Clark and Matt Edmondson who took over from Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom in 2016.
“In the past year there has been an increase in digital engagement and online audiences around The X Factor,” a spokesperson for ITV said.

ITV’s reason for taking the show off air is because of the large digital following the show has and want to put their efforts into online work.
“In light of this, ITV’s strategy to focus their efforts on digital means The Xtra Factor on linear television has come to its natural end,” they said in a statement.
“We’ve had great fun making the show and would like to thank Rylan, Matt and Roman [Kemp] for their fantastic and entertaining work on the last series.
“We now look forward to focusing on making great content for our social platforms in support of the main show.”
