Weekend is a British lifestyle show that aired on ITV from 26 April 2014 to 3 September 2017 and was presented by Aled Jones. On 22 March 2018 ITV announced that the show had been cancelled.

Format

Weekend featured a mixture of chat and musical guests.

Aled Jones presented the programme on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Of this appointment, Jones said "What more can I ask for than a mix of all of the things I love! It's a dream come true to present a show I've always wanted to watch and I can't wait to get started".

The show also had a feature on people with strange talents or hobbies, called 'We're Talking in the Air', a pun on "Walking in the Air", a song famously covered by Jones.
