Kate Gosselin's Show Axed

Kate Gosselin's reality TV show 'Kate Plus 8' has been cancelled.

The programme - which follows the life of the TV personality bringing up her eight children, fraternal twins and sextuplets, whom she had with ex-husband Jon Gosselin - has been axed by TLC, but the network is planning one-off episodes in the future.

A network representative revealed in a statement: "TLC has decided not to renew another season of 'Kate Plus 8'.

"By the end of this season 'Kate Plus 8' will have hit the 150 episode mark (including 'Jon & Kate Plus 8'); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future."

Reacting to the news on twitter, Kate - who shot to fame on 'Jon & Kate Plus 8', which documented the pair bringing up their eight kids before their divorce in 2009 - explained in a series of tweets: "We've had a great run! Six years of whirlwind funfilled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive &diehard fans!

"many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way! I poured my entire self in2 last 6 yrs of 'Kate+8' (sic)."
