Lorraine Kelly Reacts to Major Cuts on Her ITV Show
Lorraine Kelly, the 65-year-old TV presenter, expressed that she is deeply upset by the significant changes to her long-running daytime ITV programme. Announced in May, these changes include Good Morning Britain replacing her 9–10am slot for 22 weeks annually.
Adjustments to the Show's Format
- Lorraine will now present the show five days a week for 30 weeks instead of the full year.
- Her regular Friday stand-ins, Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, will no longer be needed.
- The show's duration has been reduced to 30 minutes, airing from 9.30am to 10am.
Kelly's Response on Desert Island Discs
"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."
Summary
Lorraine Kelly faces major reductions and restructuring on her ITV show, which she describes as a seismic shift affecting both the show's format and staff.
