Trailblazers 'AXED after just one season following hosts Mel B and Emily Atack's "frosty relationship" and "tense argument" during filming'
BBC Adventure show Trailblazers has reportedly been axed after one season due to hosts Mel B and Emily Atack's clash during filming.
The 2022 series, which was also presented by Ruby Wax, followed the trio as they retraced the steps of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird through the Rocky Mountains.
The Mirror reports that Mel, 48, and Emily 34, had a 'frosty' relationship which led to a 'tense' argument during filming in the US.
A source told the publication: 'Once on set, their personalities definitely clashed and there was one row that was witnessed by several crew members. There was no way back from that at the time.'
Branding filming incredibly difficult as the trio undertook tough physical challenges on the 800 mile trek.

While a second claimed the BBC had hoped to recreate the onscreen chemistry of ITV's Gordon Ramsay, Gino D'Acampo and Fred Sirieix.
Saying: 'Because Mel and Emily really did not get on, it was tough drumming up that natural chemistry. There were high hopes for the show but it won't be coming back.'
However the pair seemed to have put their difficulties behind them, with the first source adding: 'It was a bit of a pressure cooker environment but Mel and Emily have seen each other since and things were fine between them'.
A BBC Spokesperson said: 'Trailblazers has not been "axed". It was commissioned as a one off series following in the footsteps of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird across the Rocky Mountains'.
MailOnline has also approached Emily Atack and Mel B's reps for comment.
During filming Emily, Mel and Ruby attended a western bar in Aspen, recreating a scene from Coyote Ugly.
The Inbetweeners star and Ruby both donned cowboys hats and sunglasses as they gyrated among smoke machines in front of local pub-goers.
But a sober Mel B documented the whole thing to her 1.5million followers, admitting that her co-stars were 'embarrassing her on a school night' via her Instagram Story.

While promoting the series the trio's interview on The One Show descended into chaos.
During a section of the chat about horse riding, Mel and Ruby, who recently did Celebrity Gogglebox together, ended up rolling around on the sofa and were all speaking over each other – before Mel even jokingly stormed off set.
Host Alex Jones looked on bemused as the group spoke among themselves while laughing and joking around – as co-host Ronan Keating couldn't help but giggle.
And after the women had left the studio Alex couldn't resist quipping: 'Oh it feels a lot quieter in the studio now!'
Mel also jokingly stormed off the set at one point after being interrupted.
Just before Ruby could be heard telling hosts Alex and Ronan Kemp: 'We were after the American dream and then it went rotten.'
Mel then sharply quipped back: 'Just like this interview!'
Former X Factor judge Mel then said 'don't forget to tune in guys on Monday' before cheekily attempting to storm off set.
Her co-stars then brought her back to her seat as Mel could be heard saying: 'She said we had to go.'
