Kutcher's Punk'd is junked

Ashton Kutcher's prank show Punk'd is ending after five years of terrorising celebrities.

Kutcher hosted, executive produced and created the MTV show, which set up his famous friends without their knowledge.

Some of the most memorable episodes saw Justin Timberlake get emotional when he thought the US tax officials were seizing some of his goods, and Matthew Perry becoming involved in a FBI operation as he tried to buy a stolen car.

The final season of Punk'd will begin on MTV US on April 10 and features celebrity 'victims' Hilary Swank, Nelly Furtado and Jewel.
