ITV Cuts Scale Back Loose Women to Term-Time as Coleen Nolan Plans Tour

The relocation to a smaller Covent Garden studio has ended the live audience.

Overview

  • Coleen Nolan said the show will now air only during school terms, with holiday weeks off.
  • Production has moved from ITV’s larger west London site to a compact facility in Covent Garden that cannot host a studio audience.
  • Approximately 220 behind-the-scenes staff have been made redundant as part of the daytime budget reductions.
  • Nolan said the reduced schedule will cut her earnings and noted the programme was fortunate not to be canceled.
  • To help offset the loss of income, Nolan announced a new one-woman tour, This Is Me, launching next month.
