Channel 4 show axed in brutal move after being bombarded with complaints

A controversial reality show called Go Back To Where You Came From has been axed by after one series.

The programme featured five Brits who have strong opinions on asylum seekers. In it, they were exposed to the horrors that migrants face in war torn countries before deciding to try and cross the Channel.

Sadly, viewing figures were not strong enough for Channel 4 to comission a second season. It comes after several viewers and even one cast member complained that the show was insensitive.

After news broke that there would not be a second season, an insider told the Sun: “Of course, Channel 4 will maintain they only made this as a stand alone show but the scope to continue the show with another batch of Brits was obvious.

“If the ratings were higher then it might well have had a sequel, but it didn’t seem to capture the viewers’ imaginations, even if some of the contestants’ views did inspire a fiery response.”
