Broadcaster Lorraine Kelly has expressed her feelings about the significant changes coming to her ITV daytime show, Lorraine, in the new year.
These adjustments follow ITV's announcement of approximately 220 job cuts in its daytime division affecting shows like Loose Women, This Morning, and Good Morning Britain. Deadline reports suggest around half of the 450 employees across ITV's daytime output could face redundancies.
The news surprised many Lorraine fans who have followed the program since its launch in 2010. Despite the changes, the show recently achieved record-high ratings in February, March, and April 2025. ITV highlighted:
"Lorraine reaches 1.1M people every day and 2.7M people every week."
While the changes are disappointing to industry insiders, they aim to create more "streaming-friendly content, including drama and sport," according to Deadline.
