ITV pulls several daytime programmes off air after a power outage overnight affects its Covent Garden studio. Lorraine Kelly says her show will not be broadcast, with Good Morning Britain extended to cover part of the disruption. Viewers also see changes to the rest of the daytime schedule, including replacements for Loose Women and alterations to what airs in the usual slots.
ITV attributes the disruption to the wider-area power cut and says it is unable to broadcast Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women live on the day, adding it will return to the normal schedule as soon as possible. Most outlets describe the incident as last-minute scheduling chaos and note that it comes amid recent ITV daytime restructuring and cost-cutting changes, including alterations to how Good Morning Britain is produced and adjusted programme durations.
Across reports, the main emphasis differs between the presenters’ on-air or social-media statements, the viewer reaction framing, and background context about ITV’s schedule changes. While all accounts align on the cause and which shows are affected, some provide extra detail about which programmes were extended or replaced and whether normal running resumed later.
