ITV’s Ruthless Move to Axe Loose Women Weeks: Coleen Nolan’s Tearful Response Sparks Outrage and Reveals ITV’s Dark Secret

COLEEN Nolan has shared how she really feels about Loose Women’s ITV future after the channel made major cuts.

The plans also included cutting Lorraine episodes by 30 minutes and extending Good Morning Britain.

This Morning and Loose Women were unaffected by scheduling changes and will remain in their regular slots of 10.30am to 12.30pm and 12.30pm to 1.30pm, respectively.

However, Loose Women will broadcast fewer episodes – airing “on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year” according to the network.

Now Coleen – who has been a Loose Women panellist since 2000 – has spoken out about the ‘devastating’ impact the changes will have.

“I’ve never been so close to it. It’s made me realise how much this is happening across the whole country at the moment and it’s devastating.”

Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV’s Media and Entertainment Division, said: “Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.

“These changes aso allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever.”
