Graham Norton reflects on The Neighbourhood’s short-lived ITV run

11/10 @ 1:19pm by Morten Nielsen

Graham Norton has admitted that ITV reality series The Neighbourhood was a major misfire before its cancellation in August

Discussing the possibility of appearing on Celebrity Traitors, the presenter joked that he had already endured his big ITV disaster, while conceding the programme was not the broadcaster’s worst ever

The series launched with 1.2 million viewers but attracted only 500,000 by its third episode

ITV later moved episodes to ITVX and shifted the programme to a late-night slot

The broadcaster said it had learned lessons and would focus on proven live formats such as Love Island and Big Brother.
