The Tiny Chef Show's heartbreaking cancellation announcement
The internet is up in arms over the cancellation of Nickelodeon kids series The Tiny Chef Show.
The stop-motion and live-action hybrid series premiered on the kid's network back in 2022 and received critical acclaim, having won two Children's and Family Emmy's over the past two years.
The show's social media broke the news by posting a stop-motion of Chef receiving the phone call from Nick with the news of the cancellation.
The video, which sees Chef try to compose himself before sobbing onto his bed, quickly went viral – amassing more than 3.3 million views on TikTok in two days.
'We want to thank Nickelodeon for giving Chef two blamazing seasons and all the besties he made there,' the post was captioned.
'Chef wouldn't want anyone to blame his friends over there, he's just deeply sad he doesn't get to continue hosting a show he adores.
'Please let Cheffy know how much he means to you in the comments - he's really feelin' this one.'
The cancellation announcement struck a chord with social media users, with many expressing their outrage at Nick's decision.
'Oh, Nickelodeon BROKE this man,' one user posted in a tweet that has been viewed more than 25 million times. The internet has rallied around the kid's character Tiny Chef after his show cancellation. Credit: Supplied
'Nickelodeon please give Tiny Chef his show back PLEASE I am in absolute shambles,' another user said.
'I had no idea Tiny Chef existed before seeing this video, but I immediately love him, and I demand the names of the Nickelodeon executives responsible for making him cry immediately,' someone else chimed in.
The creators of The Tiny Chef Show, Rachel Larsen and Ozlem Akturk, said that while they hoped the clip would encourage fans to come to their aid and help keep Chef on social media, the video ended up reaching 'a different stratosphere entirely'.
'We didn't expect that kind of attention, but we're really happy with it,' the show creators told The Wrap in an interview.
'He's getting the attention we feel like he deserves, it feels very connecting.'
The creators have put together a website on how people can continue to help Tiny Chef in light of his cancellation.

Ed Sheeran only wears white T-shirts
Ed Sheeran has shown off his wardrobe - but it only contains white t-shirts. The Shape of You hitmaker shared a funny TikTok video in which he showed off the contents of a clothing rail and explained when he wears each of the garments, despite them all being identical. Ed, who was wearing one of the plain white crew neck tops in the clip, pulled the hangers off the rail one by one and explained: "This is my wardrobe, and this is basically the T-shirt I wear to be on stage, and when I finish on stage, and I go out, I wear this T-shirt. "And when I have my day off and I'm trying to chill out, I wear this, which is always very important. "Sometimes if I'm actually going to be really really fancy, if I'm really fancy and I want to go out for a nice dinner, I wear this T-shirt. "Then, when I'm in the studio, I wear that. "And when I do the school visits with Kev, plain. "Spaghetti bolognese, but you might spill it — it'll be good. "So that's my wardrobe. What do you think?" An account for TikTok was quick to join in the joke. They commented: "Was hoping to see your fav clothes to scroll TikTok in [cry laughing face emoji] (sic)" Ed previously admitted his friend Sir Elton John is one of the biggest critics of his "boring wardrobe". The Castle on the Hill singer wore an uncharacteristically colourful Versace blazer to the 2021 GQ Men of the Year awards and explained at the time his pal had given him some advice on what to wear to the event. He told The Sun newspaper at the time: 'Before I came tonight I FaceTimed Elton to show him the results. He's been slagging off my boring wardrobe for years. "I'm not really a fashion guy but I've had to start to show an interest – he loves it. Elton approved — it's very him. 'I actually feel pretty good in it and it's a while since there were big events on, so here I am. I'd feel less comfortable in an ordinary suit. It's easier being in this.'
