The changes will impact the likes of This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine.
More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — meaning almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows will be let go.
Cuts will be made to staff working on the likes of GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
And now the channel has stopped sending Andi Peters and Jeff Brazier to tropical destinations for the competition segments of Daytime shows.
According to MailOnline, ITV feel it is "bad taste" to keep sending Andi, 54, and Jeff, 46, to lavish locations after the announcement of the company's cuts.
Already in 2025, Andi has been flown to Australia, Cape Town, the Maldives and Florida to host competition segments.
Meanwhile, Jeff has been seen plugging competitions from Sri Lanka, Malta and Thailand.
According to the outlet, a source has said: "TV have scaled back on sending top talent overseas to present their competition segments."
The source added: "The competitions themselves, which give viewers the chance to win six figure sums and idyllic holidays, bring in a great deal of revenue.
"But constantly flying the likes of Andi and Jeff to the Maldives and South Africa was starting to frustrate staff and viewers alike.

"It was decided that they would dial down for a few weeks after the budget cuts were announced and no one has flown overseas to present the competitions since."
They added how as well as viewers being "disgruntled" about, "it was felt continuing to send talent abroad to luxurious holiday destinations as others are losing their jobs would be in bad taste".
The Sun reached out to ITV but they declined to comment.
This comes amid ITV's shocking shakeup that will see hundreds of people lose their jobs at the channel.
Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.
Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am.
This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year.
Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year.
The changes will take effect from January 2026.
