Huge daytime TV show CANCELLED in schedule shake-up set to leave fans furious
A huge daytime TV show has been cancelled in a schedule shake-up set to leave fans furious.
The beloved panel programme, Loose Women, usually airs from 12.30pm to 1pm every weekday.
It features familiar faces including Charlene White, Coleen Nolan and Ruth Langsford discussing hot topics and interviewing stars.
However, today (Friday) viewers may be disappointed to discover that Loose Women will not air.
Instead, ITV 's This Morning will run an extended programme from 10am to 1pm with hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond.
At the end of yesterday's instalment, Jane Moore said: 'That's it for today and the rest of the week.
'We'll be off air tomorrow because of the racing and we're back next week with Vanessa Williams, Michael Brandon and Victoria Derbyshire.'
From 1pm to 1.20pm, ITV Lunchtime news will broadcast, followed by regional news.
Then, horse racing coverage will dominate the channel between 1.30pm and 4pm at Sandown and Perth.
However, this isn't the first time Loose Women's schedule has been disrupted due to horse racing.
Earlier this month, the Grand National Festival at Aintree took over the network for two days.
This Morning was extended by 30 minutes, and hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard stayed on air until 1pm instead of 12:30pm.
Loose Women fans were unlucky as the beloved lunchtime talk show was taken off the air on both days to make room for live racing coverage.
The popular programme was also cancelled last month (March 26).
Anchor of the programme Ruth Langsford announced the news at the end of Tuesday 25's instalment of the programme.
Instead The Chancellor's Statement was broadcast.
'We're not here tomorrow either because of the spring statement. I'm sure you're all looking forward to that!'

A Bridgerton actor who successfully fought off a phone snatcher has revealed her impressive boxing skills. Genevieve Chenneour, 27, who plays Clara Livingston in the Netflix period drama, revealed her skills as a boxer helped her during the altercation, when she appeared on This Morning on Thursday (12 June). The 27-year-old has posted a video of herself on TikTok sparring in the ring with the caption: 'He messed with the wrong girl.' Chenneour was waiting for a coffee at a Kensington branch of Joe and the Juice when 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, of Fawns Manor Close, Feltham, snuck up behind her and grabbed her phone on 8 February. CCTV footage shows her spinning around to confront the thief, snatching her device back from him before proceeding to strike the 18-year-old with it.

Jamie Laing shares moving tribute as pal tragically dies on Air India flight
Jamie Laing has paid tribute to his 'wonderful' friend who was feared to be on the ill-fated Air India flight this week. Fiongal Greenlaw, 39, and his husband Jamie Meek, 45, are thought to have been on board the flight, bound for London's Gatwick Airport, which went down shortly after take-off. They are said to have been on holiday in India. The couple co-founded a wellness brand together, which had been shown on ITV's This Morning. Following the tragic news, Jamie paid tribute to Jamie with a tribute on his Instagram Stories. "I will miss you dear friend," he said. "A wonderful human with a wonderful soul." Fiongal appeared as a guest on This Morning in January. During the episode, he gave hosts Ben and Cat a reading over their auras. He was brought back as a spiritual advisor on the show in April, with him appearing alongside Ben, Cat and Josie Gibson in the TV studio based in London. After his first visit, a post shared by his wellness brand the Wellness Foundry on Instagram read: "So this happened ... The biggest gig so far! Fiongal on This Morning - it was very nerve-wracking but he was honoured to chat about one of his favourite topics to such a big audience." The post on the platform continued: "Thank you to everyone [at] This Morning for being so amazing and guiding me through. Thank you to [Cat and Ben] for being so kind and welcoming." Fiongal and Jamie are said to have been died in the plane crash this week. As it was previously reported, the duo posted a clip from Ahmedabad airport moments before getting on the plane. Fellow Made In Chelsea star Alex Mytton also paid tribute amid reports Jamie and Fiongal died in the crash. Tagging his girlfriend Helen Wood, Alex wrote: "A bit lost for words and feeling a tad emotionally exhausted so I just want to write a short message so as to get the message out. "Our lovely friends Fiongal & Jamie were very sadly killed yesterday in the plane crash in India. There's a lot more I want to say about them, as they were very close to @Hannah_woood & I's heart but right now I just wanted to say that if anybody wants to meet up tomorrow if they're feeling heavy, sad or just wanna hang out with some other humans I'm gonna be organising a little meet up & hug in the park or along the lines (sorry not making loads of sense atm). "It feels like there's a lot of sadness and pain at the moment and just wanted to do something as a vigil to our friends but also for everything else going on at the moment. "So please if you're feeling down or even just up for hanging out or just saying hey, it'll be a bunch of us just chatting and chilling in the park."

Ascot can lift mood after Derby doom and gloom with five days of royal glamour, star runners and a racing spectacle fit for the world stage, writes ED CHAMBERLIN
What a difference a week will make. From the doom and gloom of Epsom and its empty hill to the promise of something quite spectacular at Royal Ascot, five days that will illustrate everything great about British racing. Why are the two occasions so different? It would have been unthinkable during the late Queen's reign for her not to be at Epsom on Derby Day but the lack of a Royal presence seven days ago certainly contributed to how flat everything felt. The occasion, for so many reasons, isn't resonating with the nation. We had an audience of 1.3million on ITV, an improvement from 12 months ago but still nothing to write home about. In contrast, when we started covering racing in 2017, our ambition was to get one million-plus watching on midweek afternoons — we hope to do that on all five days next week. People can't get enough of Ascot and that's because the course has moved with the times, making it an occasion for everyone. When the Royal procession goes down the track, it passes a complete cross section of society within 500 yards. You have the picnickers on the Heath to those dining in the restaurant of Yannick Alleno, a chef with 17 Michelin stars; you'll have students there for a good time rubbing shoulders with aristocrats. Tickets are selling fast and Ascot expect close to 300,000 across the five days. It was all doom and gloom at Epsom on Derby Day just seven days ago This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Royal procession and Ascot, a racecourse in tune with their local community, have invited 500 kids from local schools on course to see the spectacle. It remains as relevant as it has ever been. My hope is the Princess of Wales will be there with the Prince on Wednesday for the blockbuster race named in his honour. I'd love to see David and Victoria Beckham in the carriages one day, too, as they would carry racing on to the front pages. I argued on these pages last year how I would love to see places reserved in the procession for the NHS heroes and heroines, to spread the love around, but the meeting is so successful I'll leave all decisions for the powers-that-be. Ascot's biggest selling point, however, is that Felicity Barnard — the new chief executive — knows what matters. For all the pomp, pageantry and popping corks, everything revolves around horses. Everyone wants to be here, with runners arriving from America, Japan, Australia, Spain and Norway. And, at the heart of it, we will be looking for a winner. Betting will be central to our coverage and my idea of a 'good thing' is Shadow Of Light in Friday's Commonwealth Cup. I can't wait. This is Ascot: historic and in fashion — and the reason everyone will be watching. BETS OF THE WEEK: Aside from Shadow Of Light, I expect REACHING HIGH to win Tuesday's Ascot Stakes for the King and Queen. I'm also hearing positive vibes for FITZELLA in the Albany Stakes on Friday.
