Overview

• ITV has halted overseas travel for presenters Andi Peters and Jeff Brazier, ending shoots in locations such as the Maldives, South Africa and Thailand since May 19.
• From January 2026, Lorraine will air 30 weeks a year in a 30-minute morning slot, and Loose Women will run for just 30 weeks annually.
• More than 220 roles across ITV’s daytime division will be made redundant under the latest cost-cutting plan.
• Executives cited the need to avoid the 'bad taste' of luxury travel after announcing widespread redundancies as a key reason for ending foreign location shoots.
• Managing director Kevin Lygo said the scheduling and production changes will generate savings to support reinvestment in other genres while preserving core news and debate programmes.
