I was in Texas at the time, and a fan came up to me and said, "How do you feel about the show being cancelled?"

I had flown out prior to two days final filming on season four, and I went, "I beg your pardon? Could you repeat that?" They said, "How do you feel about the show being cancelled?" and I said, "It's been cancelled?" and they said, "Oh, you haven't heard," and I said, "Not until now."

The next day a friend brought in a confirmation which came off the net, which was Ben and Ricky and David Kemper talking [in a live chat]. Then I realised that it really had been cancelled. So it was a great blow, to say the least.

The funny thing was, no one actually phoned me after that and confirmed it for me. So it was really strange, there was no final confirmation for me.
