Overview

• From January 2026, Lorraine will air 9:30–10am for 30 weeks a year as Good Morning Britain extends to 9:30am, with GMB running 6am–10am when Lorraine is off air.
• Kelly calls the decision "heartbreaking" for a team she has worked with for decades and says many affected colleagues have already been redeployed to other programmes.
• She rules out retiring and intends to keep presenting the show, with plans for her to host five days a week that remove the need for Friday stand-ins.
• The overhaul puts roughly 220 of about 450 ITV Daytime roles at risk, reflecting broader cost pressures on the schedule.
• ITV says the changes will generate savings to reinvest in programming and news as Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women move to a shared facility at The H Club Studio in Covent Garden.
