Channel 5 has announced it is axing The Gadget Show, a beloved programme which covered the latest advances in technology, after almost 20 years on the air.

The tech show first debuted all the way back in 2004, reviewing and testing the latest devices available to consumers across the UK.

The show equally became iconic for its string of presenters such as Pollyanna Woodward, Jason Bradbury and Countdown star Rachel Riley.

However, after some 37 seasons, bosses at Channel 5 decided to axe the show in a major shakeup of the broadcaster's TV schedule.
