Former Desperate Housewives star Dana Delany's new Tv drama Body Of Proof has been axed.

The actress broke the news to fans on Tuesday (12Nov13) via Twitter.com, revealing the show, in which she played a forensics expert, will not be back, despite viewers' hopes for a resurrection after the series was initially cancelled in May (13).

Her tweet read: "Sorry to disappoint some, but #bodyofproof will not be resurrected. May she rest in peace. Time for new adventures!"

Delany was among those who thought Tv bosses might bring the show back and recently said, "I think they could've kept us a little bit longer and I think they're going to probably regret it."
