Good Morning Britain retained its usual slot, shown at 6am to 9am. People won’t have to wait too long to see their beloved shows though. Loose Women will return to its usual 12.30pm on Friday (November 25), with This Morning and Lorraine also airing as usual on Friday.
Earlier this week, the hosts of This Morning, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby announced that they would be off air until the end of the week. Schofield said “Right, the World Cup is on ITV for the next few mornings, so Alison and Dermot will be with you on Friday, we will see you next week.”
His co-host, Willoughby said: “All that’s left to say is good luck England, good luck Wales, and we’ll see you next week.”
