BBC axes drama after just one series as show writer thanks 'millions of fans' in heartfelt tribute
The BBC is seeking to make £500 million of savings in the face of high inflation and a two-year freeze to the price of a TV licence, which provides most of its funding.
It featured hits from So Solid Crew, Sugababes, grime rapper Ghetts and Ray BLK, who starred in the programme as Vita's best friend Honey. In an update shared to Instagram, Candice wrote: 'The good news is, Champion was watched by — now I’ve seen the numbers — millions of you, was in the top 10 in so many majority Black countries.' She concluded: 'A big eternal and endless thank you to the cast and the crew for bringing this story and these characters to life' (L to R John Ogunmuyiwa, Deja J Bowens, Malcolm Kamulete, Ray BLK and Candice in June 2023)
