Beloved ITV game show with celebrity host ‘set to be shelved’ after seven series on air
A BELOVED ITV game show with a celebrity host is ‘set to be shelved’ after seven series on air.
Tenable is a game show that sees contestants attempt to win up to £125,000.
It’s played by a team of five people, which consists of four team mates and a team captain, and they know each other well.
The teammates might be family members friends, colleagues, or have some other link.
And the captain has to try and get as many teammates through to the final as possible.
All they have to do is fill in different category lists of 10 items each by guessing the correct answers.
It’s fronted by actor Warwick Davis, but, sadly for Tenable fans, it has been reported that there is no indication that the show will return to ITV in its 3pm weekday slot.
Tenable hasn’t been in production for two years, and ITV are reported to have held episodes back to air in the last few weeks.
The Sun has contacted ITV for comment.
As well as hosting Tenable, Warwick is known for many acting roles, including in Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Willow.
His first role was as an Ewok extra in Star Wars but when Kenny Baker, who was originally going to play Wicket fell ill, he was asked to fill the post.
In 1987, Warwick was called to Elstree Studios to discuss a new film called Willow, which was written with him specifically in mind.
The actor then played the role of Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter films from 2001 to 2011.
In addition to playing Flitwick, Warwick also portrayed goblin Griphook in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
In his personal life, on March 24, 2024, Warwick’s wife Samantha passed away at the age of 53.
He said: “Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs.
“She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes.”
In 2019, the actor revealed that Samantha had been struggling with sepsis.
Warwick exclusively told The Sun that her health dramatically declined ahead of a family holiday. “Sam was feeling absolutely terrible,” Warwick recalled.
“She was becoming drowsy, weak and hadn’t been to the toilet in over 24 hours.
“Fortunately for us, our doctor recognised Sam’s symptoms and told us to head to A&E immediately with a suspected case of sepsis.”
Warwick met his late wife Samantha in 1988 when she was an extra on the set of the film Willow, which he had the leading role in.
They dated for years before getting married in June 1991 in front of family and friends.
