Lorraine Kelly Upset by Major Cuts to Her ITV Show
Lorraine Kelly, 65, has expressed her disappointment over significant changes to her long-running daytime ITV programme. Announced in May, the adjustments will see Good Morning Britain take over her 9–10am slot for 22 weeks each year.
During the remaining 30 weeks, Lorraine will continue to present the show five days a week. This change means her usual Friday deputies, Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, will no longer be part of the team. Additionally, the show’s duration has been halved and will now air for just 30 minutes, from 9:30am to 10am.
Lorraine’s Reaction to the Changes
"I was disappointed, of course I was. This is the world that we live in now."
"Things have to change, I mean, I've been through so many regime changes in my life."
"For me, this is just another one, but it's seismic. The thing that has upset me the most is the fact that we've got this great team, and obviously, that's not going to be in place next year because jobs will go."
Impact on the Team and Show Format
- The show will now air only 30 minutes per day.
- Good Morning Britain takes over the 9–10am slot for 22 weeks annually.
- Friday stand-ins Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard will no longer participate.
- The changes will result in job losses and the disbanding of the established team.
Summary
Lorraine Kelly faces a “seismic” shift in her ITV show with reduced airtime and personnel, leading to her expressed sadness over losing her trusted team.
