“The show was a really big deal for Martin. It was his chance to prove he can be a star away from Line Of Duty and while he gave a great performance, it wasn’t enough.”

“All channels are having to prioritise some shows and ditch others. It is much harder to make shows at the moment because of all the restrictions. The Nest is a casualty of that.”
So what have fans of the show said?
The show was a big success when it first aired, raking in around eight million viewers initially.
However, it’s final episode only drew around four million.
Fans took to social media to share their upset over the news.
