Lorraine Kelly has reacted to major adjustments made to her daytime program on ITV, describing them as “seismic.” Due to a series of budget cuts, her show will now air on a seasonal basis.
During her appearance on BBC 4’s Desert Island Discs, Lorraine shared her feelings about the changes, expressing disappointment but also acceptance.
“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.”
She added:
“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. Hopefully I’ll be able to hang on to some of these amazing people – that’s my aim.”
Lorraine Kelly faces major adjustments to her ITV show, including a halved runtime, seasonal scheduling, and staff reductions, which she calls “seismic” yet remains determined to retain her team.
