Just as soon as everyone was getting use to seeing Chrissy Teigen's baby bump on the show, MStars News has learned that FABLife was canceled following season one! What's even worse, Tyra Banks' co-host were told the shocking news just ten minutes before the major announcement was released.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Disney-ABC Domestic Television revealed the news earlier this week on Tuesday, January 19. A source claimed that show staff were told about the cancellation just 10 minutes before the media found out. The source added that guests that were scheduled to be apart of FABLife in upcoming episodes already took action cancelling their appearances.

A statement released from Disney/ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution's president, Janice Marinelli said: "We're extremely proud of everyone involved with the show and would like to thank them for all of their contributions and tireless efforts. We are especially appreciative of our talented and dynamic co-hosts Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Leah Ashley and Lauren Makk, and we would also like to extend a huge thanks to our station partners for all of their support."

The announcement was made just two months after the show's executive producer, Tyra Banks quit. MStars News previously learned that Banks decided to dropout mid-season, claiming that she was focusing more on her cosmetic line, Tyra Beauty.

We also learned that the show wasn't in a rush to fill Banks' empty chair. There were many celebrity women wanting the position, but the job never opened.

Maybe there was too much competition with Steve Harvey's show airing at the same time in some cities? Maybe there was some show drama, or maybe the ratings just weren't what producers, and the network hoped it would be.

As for the hosts, MStars News isn't sure what designer, Lauren Makk, fashion stylist Joe Zee, or DIY genuis Leah Ashley will be doing. Chrissy Teigen will continue working on her other show, Lip Sync Battle. The hilarious show lip-syncing battle competition that airs on Spike TV was just renewed for another season.

According to Variety, the show was ranked the lowest-rated of the 15 daytime syndicated talk shows for fall 2015. MStars News wants to know, what do you think caused the cancellation?
