Charlotte Hawkins Moves Onto Wider ITV News Rota as Daytime Overhaul Advances

The shift reflects ITV’s cost-cutting drive linked to a merger of Good Morning Britain with ITV News operations.

Overview

  • Tabloid reports say Hawkins, 50, will read bulletins across the schedule while continuing on Good Morning Britain after making a News at Ten debut last week.
  • ITV’s daytime restructure brings Good Morning Britain under ITN’s umbrella, with the broadcaster declining to comment on specific personnel changes.
  • From January 2026, the schedule is slated to change with Good Morning Britain extended to 9.30am on most days and to 10am during weeks when Lorraine is off-air.
  • Lorraine is reported to move to a 30-minute, 30-weeks-a-year run, Loose Women to a seasonal 30-week pattern with no live audience, and This Morning to remain 10am–12.30pm.
  • The Sun reports more than 220 roles have been slashed as part of the drive, with consultations ongoing and ITV not providing further detail.
