Paddy McGuinness has let the boogie see the woogie on Take Me Out for the last time.
ITV announced on Monday (February 10) that it had cancelled the dating series after 10 years of awkward moments, pseudo-celebrity guests and even a baby.
"We've decided to say goodbye to Take Me Out," an ITV representative told The Sun.

The original version of Take Me Out premiered in January 2010, and has spawned spin-offs for celebrities, pensioners and holidays, in addition to classic catchphrases from Paddy like "no likey, no lighty" and "let the pina see the colada".
In its time on air, many couples actually found love on Take Me Out – we even rounded up some of the show's most inspiring success stories a few years back.
Presenter Paddy McGuinness's schedule has become increasingly busy over the last year, since he joined the BBC's revamp of Top Gear, along with Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris.
"Getting the Top Gear gig is a real honour and I'm thrilled the BBC have given me this opportunity," he said when he landed the BBC job.
"To be hosting a show I've watched and loved from being a small boy is beyond exciting. Top Gear fans worldwide are a passionate bunch and I consider myself one of them."
McGuinness ultimately left his role as a co-captain on ITV2's Celebrity Juice to focus on Top Gear, having been replaced by Spice Girls star Mel B.
