ITV Sets January Daytime Revamp as Christine Lampard Leaves Lorraine Cover

ITV frames the overhaul as a cost-saving move to reinvest across its schedule.

Overview

  • From January 2026, Good Morning Britain extends by 30 minutes to run 6:00–9:30 and moves under ITN production.
  • Lorraine shifts to a 30‑minute slot at 9:30–10:00 and moves to a seasonal run of about 30 weeks each year, with GMB continuing to 10:00 when it is off air.
  • Loose Women transitions to a seasonal schedule of roughly 30 weeks annually, while This Morning airs 10:00–12:30 on weekdays.
  • ITV has disclosed more than 220 job cuts tied to the daytime restructure, with Lorraine Kelly noting team departures including longtime editor Victoria Kennedy.
  • Christine Lampard confirms she will no longer serve as Lorraine Kelly’s stand‑in, while Ranvir Singh remains in the daytime roster and continues on Good Morning Britain; Kelly has urged viewers to stay with the show.
