EXCLUSIVE: Nine has halted production on upcoming reality series Celebrity Come Dine with Me just 9 days before filming was due to commence.
The ITV Australia series, which has previously had seasons on Pay TV, is based on a UK format of the same name with celebrities hosting dinner parties and scoring one another.
A Nine spokesperson told TV Tonight it has delayed the series due to production issues.
Sources indicate Nine was happy with the casting.
Nine’s slate is also rumoured to be undergoing change since execs returned from MIPTV in Cannes including under Adrian Swift, a long term friend of CEO Hugh Marks, as Head of Content and Creative Development.
Nine announced Celebrity Come Dine With Me after confirming The Hotplate would not return.

As much as I love this show and format, I am actually glad it has been shelved…. I have no doubt CH9 would have butchered it…..
I don’t normally look forward to reality/cooking shows but as a fan of the UK original CDWM I was anticipating this one. Hope it’s just postponed and not scrapped entirely.
Probably got to save money now they have problems in the Middle East to pay for.
Haha I thought the same when I saw the headline on the front page.
Can’t say I’m surprised .. At best it’s a secondary food channel show on cable TV made by Brits…
This was the only primetime show on 9 I would’ve considered watching this year.
Phew
Not bitchy enough?
