Anna Friel must be tearing her hair out.
The former Brookside babe scored a huge hit in the US with her series Pushing Daisies, in which she plays the reanimated sweetheart of a man who brings the dead back to life.
However, while the show’s gone down a storm in America, prompting ITV1 to snap it up, the British broadcaster has seen their ratings slump from 5.7 million viewers to less than three million.
As a result, the axe is hanging over the series, and not even the lovely Ned could bring it back from the grave.
An ITV insider told The Sun: “It’d be a shame if ITV boss Peter Fincham axed it because, despite the ratings, it is quality telly.”
Too right it is - and maybe if the channel had thought about it properly, instead of chopping out episodes to accommodate football, it might do better.
Give it a chance Mr Fincham, go on, you know you want to.
NOOOOO! Pushing daisies can’t end! I LOVE IT!
