Today with Des and Mel

Today with Des and Mel was a British television series hosted by Des O'Connor and Melanie Sykes. The show featured celebrity guests, phone-in competitions, and conversations between the hosts. It was produced by Carlton Television at The London Studios. The show was previously produced at Teddington Studios for its first series. Today with Des and Mel was loosely based on the format of the popular American television show, Live with Regis and Kelly. At one point, the show was approved for an evening version. For a brief period in January 2005, it aired at 5 p.m., but this was soon discontinued, and a full prime-time version never materialized. ITV announced on May 12, 2006, that the show had been canceled.
