Toothbrush is like Takeaway in many ways and in that those involved decided it was time to move on before their show went downhill. I think you only have to look at Noel's House Party for a similar dependant on ideas format that ran out of steam in the end to see why someone would want to end a show on a relative high.
The real question is if ITV decide to replace Takeaway with another "fun" show, which isn't easy to do as stuff like Bigheads has proven. I think they have to as another singing show so soon after The Masked Singer and leading up to BGT isn't great and there are too many big money gameshows already. Maybe the answer is to move Limitless Win into Takeaway's slot and commission something fun but with less of a budget and less audience expectation for LW's slot?
