Why Lorraine and Loose Women are not on ITV today and when they'll be back on air
A huge schedule shake-up sees them pulled from air again this weekLorraine and Loose Women will both not air today (March 30) as ITV’s huge schedule shake-up continues. And, unfortunately for disappointed fans, they won’t be back on ITV for a while…
Usually, every weekday, ITV viewers can rely on the structure of their daytime shows staying the same. However, since the start of this year, changes have been afoot, with runtimes slashed and shows disappearing from the schedule altogether.
Today, as was the case last week, viewers will find that Lorraine and Loose Women are not on air. And, instead, different programmes will air in their place. So, why is this the case? And when will the shows be back on? Here’s everything you need to know.
Why Lorraine and Loose Women are not on today
Since the start of 2026 Lorraine Kelly’s show was changed to be 30 minutes long. However, in a surprising shake-up, it won’t air at all this week. Instead, Good Morning Britain, which starts at 6am, will once again be extended for the five days, lasting until 10am.
Then, This Morning will air at its usual time, with no extensions. But instead of swapping over to the Loose Women ladies, ITV will be airing something entirely different.
Instead of Loose Women, the channel will be showing the news, then repeats of fan-favourite game shows.
The shake-up started at the beginning of March, when ITV showed coverage of the annual racing event, the Cheltenham Festival. However, the changes actually lasted a lot longer than just the duration of Cheltenham…
When will the ITV shows be back on air?
Unfortunately for dedicated fans, Lorraine and Loose Women aren’t just pulled from the schedule today, they will actually be off-air all week, and well into next month, too.

This was confirmed by Kaye Adams at the end of the final Loose Women on March 6. She told viewers: “We will be back next month. Until then, take care, have a fabulous weekend and Easter, and we’ll see you very soon!”
Both the ITV shows have been affected by the huge shake-up that began at the start of this year, as ITV made its bloodbath cuts.
Loose Women and Lorraine will now only air for 30 weeks of the year. As well as that, the live audience on Loose Women has also been scrapped.
