An ITV spokesperson told TVZone: "There are no plans for new episodes of Deep Fake Neighbour Wars.

"The full series will remain on ITVX for everyone to enjoy and sits alongside the many other comedies on the streamer."

Meanwhile, bosses have also scrapped Significant Other after one series on air.

The show, which ran for six episodes, was broadcast last year and starred Katherine Parkinson and Youssef Kerkou.

A spokesperson said: "Significant Other was a great addition to the comedy season on ITVX last year but sadly it won't be returning for a second series. 

"We'd like to thank the cast and crew for bringing the show to our screens."

Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed how ITV have decided to rest The Masked Dancer for good after placing it on hiatus.

The good news is that the programme which inspired it, The Masked Singer, will definitely return for a sixth season next year.
