Lorraine, This Morning AND Loose Women cancelled tomorrow

They will return on Thursday

Viewers of Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be gutted tomorrow as ALL three shows are cancelled.

The daytime shows, which run after each other, have been pulled from ITV’s schedule to make way for the Rugby World Cup as Scotland and Russia and Wales and Fiji go head-to-head.

At the end of Tuesday’s edition of Lorraine, host Lorraine Kelly said: “We’re not on tomorrow because of the rugby… Scotland are playing, yay!

“But join me on Thursday with Mika and the X Factor judges.”

Meanwhile, on today’s This Morning, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield told viewers: “We’re off tomorrow because of the rugby but we will be back on Thursday.”

The rugby will air from 8am right through to 1:30pm.

The lunchtime news will air straight away in its normal time of 1:30pm.

Lorraine usually airs at 8:30am until 9:25am when Judge Rinder airs for an hour.

This Morning then takes over from 10:30am to 12:30pm and Loose Women follows until 1:30pm.

Viewers have previously expressed their anger over the shows being taken off air.

One person asked: “Why couldn’t the rugby be put on itv4? Come on ITV you know the morning TV watchers.

“Love the fact that the rugby is being screened but not in place of ‘normal’ morning telly.”

Another tweeted: “No this morning again today because of the Rugby World Cup, why can’t ITV put the rugby World Cup on ITV2 or ITV3?”
