Gordon Ramsay’s Bank Balance – will there be a series two?
Gordon Ramsay made his debut as a game show host earlier this year, but the series won’t be back for a second run.
A BBC spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: “There are no current plans for another series of Bank Balance.”
Bank Balance saw contestants compete in pairs to win cash prizes.
They answered questions in order to stack different sized gold bars onto a precarious balance board.
The more bars, the more money, with a total of £100,000 up for grabs.
Some viewers criticised the over-complicated rules.
Bank Balance ran for nine episodes in February.
Despite ratings beginning at 2.7million, they eventually fell to 1.5m by the third episode.
While the show won’t return to the BBC, Studio Ramsay is planning to take it to the US in a deal with Fox.
Studio Ramsay also produces Gordon, Gino & Fred Go Greek!
Gordon Ramsay net worth – will he leave fortune to his kids?
Gordon Ramsay, 54, may be one of the richest chefs in the world, with a huge net worth, but he refuses to spoil his children.
Even though the controversial star has made buckets of cash, he previously said he’s determined to teach his brood the value of money.
He told the Telegraph: “I’ve never been really turned on about the money.
“That’s not my number one objective, and that’s reflected in the way the kids are brought up.
“They don’t sit with us in first class [on a plane]. They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We’re really strict on that.”
Gordon has even gone so far as to confess that he has no intention of leaving much of his fortune to his five kids in his will.
He said: “It’s definitely not going to them, and that’s not in a mean way; it’s to not spoil them.
“The only thing I’ve agreed with Tana is they get a 25% deposit on a flat, but not the whole flat.”
Gordon, Gino & Fred Go Greek! concludes on Monday October 04 2021 at 9pm on ITV1.
