Shaun Williamson has claimed 'Mister Winner' was axed after the BBC's "funds were depleted because of COVID-19". The 55-year-old star - who appeared as Chris Smith in two episodes of the sitcom - has opened up on the way the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc on his acting career with various projects getting cancelled.
He said: "I was in a lovely sitcom last year called 'Mister Winner'. It got cancelled because the BBC's funds were depleted because of COVID, I've always thought we were going to do a second series. "It's just bad luck.
I was supposed to tour in a musical, that was cancelled. So I’ve just got to wait and see what happens. " The 'Celebs on the Farm' star admitted the upcoming MTV reality show - which is set to air next month.
