Overview
- From January 2026, Lorraine will air for 30 minutes on a 30‑week seasonal run, with Good Morning Britain extending to cover the 9–10am slot when the show is off air.
- Lorraine Kelly told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs she was disappointed by the changes and most saddened by expected losses to her long‑standing team.
- During the weeks it airs, Lorraine will present five days a week, ending the need for regular Friday stand‑ins Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh.
- Industry reporting continues to point to around 220 daytime redundancies across ITV, and longtime medical contributor Dr Hilary Jones says he will depart at year‑end.
- ITV executives have framed the daytime restructure as a way to cut costs and reinvest in priorities seen as more streaming‑friendly, including drama and sport.
