ITV favourites Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women will be off air tomorrow (July 5), it has been revealed.
Good Morning Britain, which usually airs from 6am until 9am, has been extended with an extra 25 minutes. The extended time is to accommodate for the UK General Election results coverage.
Susanna Reid and Ed Balls will host this Friday’s Good Morning Britain. But, what does that mean for Lorraine’s show straight after?
ITV schedule to scrap Lorraine and This Morning
Straight after Good Morning Britain, Lorraine – typically hosted by Lorraine Kelly – usually airs from 9am until 10am. However, despite Good Morning Britain not running over her entire time slot, Lorraine will not air on Friday.
Instead, Julie Etchingham will host Election 2024 Live: The Results from 9.25am until 3.30 pm.
“The studio will host the best, brightest, most outspoken and listened to political policy makers and commentators in the country,” an ITV spokesperson told The Sun.
“This includes leading political punditry pairing Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire, former PM Boris Johnson’s communications chief Guto Harri, Labour veteran Harriet Harman, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and newly enobled Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika.”
“Will Rishi Sunak stay in Number 10 or will Keir Starmer arrive for the first time? Who will be moving into ministerial offices?” they continued. “Dramatic political questions are likely to be answered during the live coverage on Day 2.”
This Morning and Loose Women on Friday
For the same reasons, both This Morning and Loose Women will also be scrapped on Friday due to the UK General Election results coverage.
The ITV News London will air at 3.30pm before the Live UEFA Euro 2024 match against Spain and Germany takes place at 4pm.
However, on Monday (July 8), Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women are scheduled to air during their usual time slots.
Some viewers were happy with the news that This Morning won’t be on tomorrow.
“No [Alison] Hammond tomorrow,” one cheered. “Wait, what…..no show tomorrow morning?” another thrilled viewer said.
“No #thismorning tomorrow?” a third wrote, adding in a gif of Elmo shrugging, saying “oh well”.
One fan wasn’t happy though. “See you next week. What a boring day tomorrow will be,” they said.
Cat accused of sending political message
Meanwhile, during today’s edition of This Morning (Thursday, July 4), Cat’s outfit came under scrutiny.
Broadcasters aren’t allowed to discuss anything the election in a way that might effect voting.
However, some viewers believed that Cat showed which side she’s on with her choice of outfit on today’s show.
The 47-year-old was wearing a white dress covered in roses today. Roses are, of course, the symbol of the Labour Party.
“Interesting choice of outfit from Cat this morning… especially on Polling Day,” one viewer tweeted this morning.
“Cat Deeley wearing that dress is no accident,” another said.
