Overview

• From January 2026 Lorraine Kelly’s programme will run for 30 minutes and only air 30 weeks a year.
• Kelly rejected an offer to merge her show with Good Morning Britain, describing the proposal as insulting.
• A new one-year ‘Head of Lorraine’ role has been created to manage the changes, fueling expectations she will depart at the end of 2026.
• Good Morning Britain will gain a 30-minute extension each morning and move its production under ITN’s remit.
• Loose Women will shift to a 30-week seasonal schedule and more than 220 daytime production roles will be cut.
