Loose Women cancelled and This Morning pulled off air in ITV schedule shake-up

ITV viewers will be in for a different TV schedule on Wednesday as Loose Women has been cancelled and This Morning will finish at an earlier time.

This is due to the live coverage of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt presenting the Spring Budget 2024. This Morning will finish at an earlier time of 12:15pm while Loose Women's Wednesday episode has been cancelled, instead being replaced by a ITV News Special, covering the Spring Budget 2024. This will air 12:15pm until 2pm.

Addressing the schedule change on Wednesday's This Morning, Craig Doyle said: "The show is slightly shorter today because it's Budget Day. We are all going to be so much richer at the end of today!" to which co-host Josie Gibson joked: "I hope so!"

During Wednesday's episode of This Morning, the two presenters spoke to soap queen, Sharon Marshall, to get all the latest telly gossip and spoilers. Elsewhere, Josie will be reunited with I'm A Celebrity campmate Fred Sirieix, who will be showing off his cooking skills in the ITV studio.

Facing It Together aims to raise awareness around the important issue, whether you are a survivor or a friend. Olivia Attwood, Brenda Edwards, Charlene White, Denise Welch, Frankie Bridge, Judi Love, Kelle Bryan and Sunetra Sarker have all taken part in the emotive campaign to raise awareness.

Denise, 65, Olivia, 32, Kelle, 48, and Brenda, 55, have all personally experienced domestic abuse in the past. The foursome bravely opened up about their experiences with domestic abuse to raise awareness as they were supported by their fellow panellists in the emotive photoshoot and film, which was guided by Women's Aid and SafeLives. It aired on Tuesday's show.

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers praised the panellists for being brave and the campaign. One person said: "Congratulations, ladies, on the amazing work you all continue to do to raise awareness for these important issues. #facingittogether" while another added: "Excellent campaign, sincerely hope it will encourage anyone at risk of domestic abuse and survivors to seek support."
