Reports huge ITV star could leave broadcaster amid overhaul of daytime schedule
TV presenter Lorraine Kelly may leave ITV by the end of 2025 following an overhaul to the daytime schedule.
It comes after ITV announced that Good Morning Britain (GMB) would be extended by half an hour starting from January 2026.
The extension to GMB means that Lorraine Kelly's morning show will be reduced to 30 minutes for 30 weeks of the year.
The future of Lorraine is in doubt as reports from The Sun suggest that the host may be leaving the show by the end of the year.
Discussing the reports, a source told The Sun: "Lorraine was asked if she wanted to retire, having just celebrated her 40 years on breakfast TV, but she instead chose to see out her contract.
"Bosses thought it would be an ideal opportunity for her to spend more time with family, especially given how little she was on her own show last year.
"Many think it is unlikely she will stay on after her current contract and that is further proven by the fact that the boss of her show will be part-time and on a one-year contract.
'She is a hugely valued member of the ITV history and is likely to do other shows at the channel, with some thinking she may explore documentaries, travelogues and passion projects."

When ITV previously announced the changes to the daytime schedule, Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, said the changes will enable the broadcaster "to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust."
Adding: "These changes also 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.'
Lorriane Kelly has not commented on the reports.

Legendary Coronation Street duo reunite after 11 years and fans can't believe it
Two Coronation Street legends have reunited 11 years after last appearing on the cobbles together, and fans can't believe it. It comes as Katherine Kelly, who played the role of Becky McDonald, posted a reunion picture with Julie Hesmondhalgh, best known for the character Hayley Cropper. Hayley was the first transgender character on a British soap and throughout her time in Weatherfield, formed close friendships with Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) and Carla Connor (Alison King), as well as Becky. After first joining the ITV programme in 2006, Becky formed an unbreakable bond with Hayley and her husband, Roy, and they remained a tight-knit family-like trio until she departed for Barbados in 2012. Then sadly, after 16 years, Hayley's time came to an end on Corrie when she decided to end her life after battling with terminal pancreatic cancer in 2014. However, Katherine's recent Instagram post has left fans rather excited, as it appears the pair are working together once more. As well as a picture of the actresses hugging with huge smiles on their faces, Katherine also shared a picture of Julie in a recording booth and another of a recording studio set up with equipment. Katherine captioned the photos: 'A day spent with one of my FAVOURITE human beings deserves a place on the grid @jhesmondhalgh.' One fan commented: "Icons! And the 'Reunited' song comes to mind.' Another wrote: 'This photo has made my day, all we need is David in the middle x' Someone else said: 'What ever this is I can't wait to watch.' Also on social media, this Corrie viewer put: 'HAYLEY AND BECKY REUNION AHHH MY GODDDDD.' While this person added: 'Always Hayley n Bex to me but both great actors post Corrie.'
