The reason for taking the show off the air was alleged that viewers had taken to Twitter to complain that Ms Al-Awadhi’s white dress was inappropriate for Ramadan.
Complaining on her Snapchat, the TV hostess said: “Because my show was airing during Ramadan, I was extra cautious about not going against any of our traditions, I took care of what I wore and how I spoke.“
