Tim Wonnacott has been suspended from Bargain Hunt.
And it's thought that the chances of the 62-year-old getting his job back on the BBC show are "highly unlikely".
Bosses decided to axe the star on Friday afternoon following a bust-up with producers, according to The Sun.

A source told the paper: "Bargain Hunt comes across as a really upbeat and friendly show, but off camera there is a lot of tension.
"Tim is very old school and definitely not afraid of voicing his opinion. He can come very close to the line."
Although exact details of the incident have not yet been revealed, it's thought that BBC bosses have now launched an investigation into the matter.
Until all has been resolved, guest presenters have been drafted in to finish the remainder of the current series.
Speaking to the tabloid, Tim confirmed that he is no longer hosting his iconic daytime show: "I am not doing Bargain Hunt at the moment for personal reasons."

Tim competed in Strictly Come Dancing last year

However, fans of the series are well aware that Tim - who has fronted it for 15 years - loves his job.
A BBC spokesperson added: "Tim is not currently in production on Bargain Hunt. We wouldn't comment on individual staff matters."
The news comes just months after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear for assaulting producer Oisin Tymon.
Following his dismissal, the star is now preparing to host a new motoring series with former co-stars Richard Hammond and James May for Amazon Prime.
The show is expected to air online next year.
