ITV show Password has suffered a huge shake up as two big name stars have quit ahead of the second series launch.
The gameshow, hosted by Stephen Managan, sees members of the public have to guess passwords, with the help of celebrity team captains Daisy May Cooper and Alan Carr.
But Daisy and Alan are reportedly not returning for the new launch as Stephen will head the show alone, according to The Sun.
While the pair made a brilliant duo fronting the programme, it is believed that they are too busy this year to keep the commitment.
According to the publication, the second season will see a revolving panel of celebrities instead.
A source said: ‘Password did brilliantly on its first outing and it’s always a shame to make changes, but Alan and Daisy are both incredibly busy and diaries just wouldn’t align.

‘Something had to give and sadly it was their roles as team captains.
‘But there’s an exciting line-up of celebs ready to take part instead and everyone’s confident that the format works without them.’
MailOnline has contacted ITV for a comment.
While the show has only aired one season, it has already seen some backlash.
ITV viewers furiously slammed the broadcaster’s newest gameshow as ‘the worst thing on TV’ after it’s pilot aired.
Fans have already spotted a huge blunder with the format of the programme, meaning those at homes are unable to play along.
Viewers were puzzled by the fact that the passwords were being announced by a voiceover to those at home, so there seems to be no way of trying to join in and guess yourself.
Before the contestants got stuck in, host Stephen explained: ‘The game is simple. Get your partner to guess the password before your opponent does.

‘You can only give one-word clues. No made up words, no hand gestures, no miming, no running, no ducking, no bombing… If your partner gets the password on the first clue it’s worth 6 points, then 5 points for the second clue and so on.
‘First team to 25 wins the round, win two rounds and you’ll go through to the final where you’ll be playing for our £10,000 jackpot.’
However, fans were left less than impressed with the concept and took to social media to brutally slate the show after its launch, writing:
‘WTAF is this new #Password game show? What a load of old b*******. Juvenile beyond belief. Saturday night prime time everybody.’
‘#password I mean @ITV must be bloody desperate… this isn’t even a 3pm quiz show, why is it on prime time on a Saturday?’
‘I love a good quiz BUT Password is the worst thing I have seen on TV for years #Password.’
‘How the f*** is this prime time TV? Should be on at 3pm if at all #password’
‘I had to keep watching to see if it got any better. It’s like an episode of The Apprentice where the contestants had a day to create a tv quiz show with no budget.’
