Rumors have been flying for weeks that TLC was poised and ready to cancel the reality show Kate Plus 8. This afternoon the network issued a statement confirming the news.
A spokesperson said: “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.”
Kate Gosselin and her sextuplets and twins have been a mainstay on The Learning Channel since April 2007.
Just one year ago things were going extremely well for the single mom, who was featured on the cover of People magazine looking fit and trim in a sexy white bikini.
During an interview with Ann Currey on the Today Show last week, the former Dancing with the Stars alum was stoic about the possibility that her show was on the chopping block.
Kate said: “Nobody has told me about being cancelled. We’re happy to continue on and will do so as long as people are watching.”
