Overview
- Reports published on Sunday, May 31, say Kelly has not signed a new ITV contract and is exploring outside projects, though those claims rely on unnamed sources.
- ITV reduced Lorraine’s programme in January 2026 from 60 minutes to 30 minutes and cut its annual schedule from 52 weeks to 30 as part of daytime restructuring that led to more than 220 job losses.
- Published reports describe two proposed ventures — a YouTube-style interview format and a podcast called Mother To Mother with her daughter Rosie — but those projects are unconfirmed by Kelly or ITV.
- Kelly’s representatives have issued an official statement saying she has no plans to leave the show and that any podcast or audio-visual work would be complementary to her ITV role.
- The dispute between unnamed-source reports and the official line leaves Kelly’s long-term plans unresolved and highlights broader industry pressures that have displaced long-serving production staff and prompted some presenters to consider independent digital routes.
