Vanessa Feltz says she is blindsided after Channel 5 cancels her daytime chat show, “Vanessa,” after about one year on air. Multiple reports state that the 64-year-old presenter was reportedly told of the decision during a meeting with Channel 5 bosses, with some accounts describing her reaction as anger at the lack of prior notice. The cancellation comes after the programme’s relatively short run in daytime schedules.

The coverage focuses on Feltz’s account of how the news was communicated, including that she was informed in person by management rather than through earlier communication. While the reports describe her frustration, they do not provide detailed reasons from Channel 5 for the axing, nor do they include confirmed statements from the broadcaster within the supplied excerpts. The decision results in the show ending after a limited tenure on Channel 5’s daytime roster, according to the reports.
