Channel 4 reportedly axe EastEnders star's show despite pulling 1.1 million viewers
The batch-cooking series launched in February 2025 and averaged 1.1 million viewers, but Channel 4 reportedly dropped plans for a second run.
- Channel 4 has axed Batch From Scratch: Cooking For Less, a series that attracted an average audience of 1.1 million viewers after launching in February 2025.
- A source told The Sun the network's shift from EastEnders actor to family chef "didn't happen as seamlessly as bosses had hoped," explaining the cancellation decision.
- The program helped families prepare affordable, healthy meals through batch cooking, and Channel had previously encouraged applications for a second series "currently in pre-production" and set to "transmit next year."
- Despite the cancellation, Swash continues sharing batch cooking videos on Instagram from Pickle Cottage, his family home in Essex, maintaining engagement with audiences.
- The show aimed to establish Swash as a household name similar to his wife, Stacey Solomon, a former Loose Women panellist, positioning him in family entertainment.
