Channel 10 recently announced that The Living Room would be ‘rested’ and on ‘hiatus’ next year.
And the show’s main host Amanda Keller says she is uncertain about the future of the popular program.
Keller said the cast, which also includes Chris Brown, Barry DuBois and Miguel Maestre, were baffled by the terminology used by the network to explain the decision.

‘If you knew what it meant, I’d like you to tell me,’ Keller told the Daily Telegraph.
‘I think it means, what they have said to us is that we will be back the following year with a bit of a zhuzh, but that is all I know.’
Keller confirmed the show’s cancellation on her WSFM breakfast program Jonesy & Amanda back in October.
She said it was partly a network decision to give the producers time to reformat the series ahead of a potential return.
She promised fans the show would return in 2024 with the ‘awesome foursome’ – comprising Amanda, Miguel, Barry Du Bois and Dr Chris Brown – resuming hosting duties.
Keller said it was a ‘sad’ but necessary move, with the year-long hiatus required to ensure The Living Room has a ‘brilliant’ comeback.
