Production teams and talent were told Lorraine episodes will also be cut by 30 minutes a day, so from January 2026, Lorraine will air daily from 9.30am until 10am, which is a change from its current 9am to 10am slot.
In a further switch up, it will now broadcast for only 30 weeks of the year.
This change means stand-in presenters who are currently used in Lorraine’s absence will no longer be needed for the remaining 22 weeks.
Now, it has been reported that Lorraine declined the opportunity to merge her daytime show with Good Morning Britain, which would see her presenting the last 30 minutes of their broadcast.
According to MailOnline, Lorraine was taken into a meeting and offered the proposal but that the offer left the star “insulted,” according to sources.
They continue to report that the presenter was “prepared to walk away,” but will now carry on presenting her show until the end of 2026.
And a new role titled ‘Head of Lorraine’ has been created to oversee the changes, but the contract only lasts for a 12-month period.
A show insider revealed to the publication: “Lorraine was pulled into a meeting with bosses where she was told about Good Morning Britain being taken over by ITN ahead of the public announcement.
“It was proposed that her show would merge with GMB so that she presented the last 30 minutes of the broadcast, which is what happened when a reduced team were working during lockdown.
“But she told them no and said it wasn’t even a possibility… fast-forwarded two weeks and the channel announced her show would be cut from an hour to 30 minutes…
“The entire thing has been an insult and she’s certain to leave when the year-long contract ends.”
ITV had no comment when contacted by The Sun.
Good Morning Britain will now fill the first 30-minute slot Lorraine currently holds.
It will run from 6am until 9.30am, extending its current slot of 6am until 9am, and will be produced by a dedicated team within ITV News at ITN.
During the weeks when Lorraine is off air, GMB’s broadcast will also be extended until 10am.
Lorraine’s show isn’t the only programme to be affected by the new and brutal shake-up by the broadcaster.
The lunchtime panel show and This Morning will, however, be unaffected by the scheduling changes and remain in their regular slots.
This Morning will continue to air from 10.30am to 12.30pm and Loose Women from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.
