About time.

Channel 4 has cancelled The Jump. The reality show, which saw celebrity learning how to master a ski jump, has been hit by controversy every year as multiple contestants received injuries. In one year alone seven celebrities ended up withdrawing from the competition with injuries including a fractured ankle, dislocated elbow and hamstring injury. According to The Sun, a source confirmed it would not return in 2018, saying:
"It’s felt like The Jump has been on borrowed time for a while now as the injuries mount up series after series. The fact Channel 4 have decided against bringing it back next year suggests it’s not a loved property. If it was getting big enough numbers or deemed an important show, it would be locked into the schedule every year like The X Factor or I’m a Celebrity."
It surprised everyone when it returned for a fourth series earlier this year.
