Huge ITV shakeup
The news arrives just days after ITV announced the network would be making some huge cuts in the new year.
“From January 2026, Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily, and will transfer to be produced by ITV News at ITN at their base at Gray’s Inn Road in London,” a press release announced.
“GMB will be made by a dedicated team within ITV News at ITN. This change will see ITV bring all its national news gathering into one hub, with Good Morning Britain benefitting from the journalistic and production resources already in place for national news bulletins, for the website and for digital platforms including ITVX.”
Lorraine Kelly’s self-titled show received the biggest blow, however. Her hour-long show has been cut in half. As a result, Lorraine will air in a 30-minute slot from 9.30am till 10am, when This Morning starts.
The show, as well as Loose Women, will also air on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. When Lorraine is off air, GMB will be extended until 10am.
Following the shocking news, Lorraine has been predicted to “consider other opportunities” after her show was sensationally slashed.
