Narrator Guy Williams is devastated to learn Come Dine With Me will not make a comeback.

Mediaworks haven't renewed their much-criticised local version of British cooking hit Come Dine With Me - news which has been greeted by the show's host, Guy Williams, in typical fashion.

Williams, who was tasked with the difficult job of delivering witty narration to match the dry humour of British frontman Dave Lamb, offered a comic take on the show's legacy, saying it "touched and blessed every single one" of its viewers.

"This is heartbreaking news, not just for me, but for all the people of New Zealand," he said.



"Not a day goes by where I don't reminisce about the good times and the memories that we had.

"I hope that all the millions of fans that we had out there keep on dining and keep having dinner parties so the proud legacy of Come Dine With Me New Zealand can live on forever."



A spokesperson from TV3 said the show was only commissioned for one series and simply hadn't been renewed, which Williams had some thoughts on too.



"Many would say that the first season already went so well that there's no point of making another season because you can't improve on perfection," he said.



Mind you, he also said he was currently in the Bahamas "riding on dolphins" - rather than in New Zealand getting pranked by Jono and Ben.

Come Dine With Me had an unfortunate start when its airdate was brought forward to take the 7pm slot held by Campbell Live.

With Come Dine With Me off the roster, it joins X Factor and Masterchef in the reality television graveyard.

TV3 have confirmed that no other shows are currently under review, other than 3D, where staff on the show said they had been given six days to find a way to fix the show or risk getting axed.
