Live coverage of The Oaks race will dominate ITV's afternoon schedule causing the TV chaos. Loose Women usually broadcasts for one hour between 12:30pm and 1:30pm each weekday. However, tomorrow, the ITV Lunchtime News will be brought forward by an hour for a shortened edition to kick off at 12:30pm. It will be followed by a local news bulletin before coverage of the racing begins at 1pm. The sporting event will continue until 5pm - forcing quiz show Tipping Point off air too. The Chase will then air at 5pm as usual. Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani will present live coverage of the first day of the Derby meeting from Epsom Racecourse. The ladies confirmed the news that the show won't air in its usual timeslot at the end of today's broadcast. It will return as usual on Monday afternoon with guests throughout the week including Cheshire Housewife Tanya Bardsley, Si King and This Morning host Alison Hammond. Watch as Kaye Adams breaks silence on Loose Women cuts It comes after the recent news that the show would be reduced from being a year-round broadcast from next year. As part of cuts at ITV, the programme will face a series of behind-the-scenes changes as well as a third of the panellists being axed as a result of having 22 weeks less of episodes. More than 220 jobs at ITV Daytime will be affected. Speaking on her podcast How to be 60, lead anchor Kaye Adams said she felt as though 'the rug had been pulled' from underneath her. Kaye, 62, confessed: 'It did come out of the blue. "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life. Regular Loose Women panellists Katie Piper - Former Strictly Come Dancing star, activist, model and author Sunetra Sarker - A former Strictly Come Dancing star, and known for her role in Casualty Kaye Adams - Scottish journalist and one of the original Loose Women Christine Lampard - ITV presenter Ruth Langsford - Presented Loose Women on and off since 1999 Jane Moore - Sun columnist and former I'm A Celebrity contestant Coleen Nolan - Became known for her family girl band called The Nolans and went on to compete on Celeb Big Brother Nadia Sawalha - Former EastEnders star and Celebrity MasterChef winner Stacey Solomon - Known for her reality show Sort Your Life Out and winning series 10 of I'm A Celeb Janet Street-Porter - A journalist and president of the Ramblers' Association Brenda Edwards - Came fourth on The X Factor and went on to become a pop star and act in hit musicals such as Hairspray Charlene White - Lead presenter at ITV News London Kelle Bryan - Former EastEnders star and was in girl group Eternal alongside her sisters.

Under the changes, Loose Women will be slashed and will be on air for 30 instead of 52 weeks. Lorraine Kelly's morning show will also be cut to 30 weeks, and will reduce from an hour to 30 minutes. Kaye, who is one of Loose Women's main anchors, said: 'It's going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It's a huge change. 'But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good."

Where to watch the 2025 Grand National live: TV channel and streaming
The Grand National is one of the biggest television events of the year in the UK and Ireland - Alamy Stock Photo The Grand National remains one of the few truly unifying events in the UK sporting calendar, with millions glued to television screens every year in early April. Here, Telegraph Sport gives you all the information you need about how to watch the most famous jumps race of them all. Advertisement Plus, find the best Grand National tips and our guide to every horse in the race. You can also download Telegraph Sport's sweepstake kit for today's race. Grand National on TV: What channel is the race on? The Grand National will be shown live on free-to-air television by ITV at 4pm today – Saturday, April 5 – as the showpiece in the channel's truncated coverage of the three-day meeting at Aintree. For full, uninterrupted coverage of the Grand National meeting – including the big race itself – you need to sign up for a subscription for Racing TV, which owns the rights to show all racing from Aintree. Advertisement Racing TV costs £29.98 monthly or you can pay an up-front fee of £298 for an annual membership. You can also pay £10 for a day pass. Grand National streaming Both ITV and Racing TV have streaming services as part of their offering. ITVX can be accessed either via the website or by downloading the app directly to your phone. The same is true of Racing TV, which has a dedicated app as well as streaming via web browser. You can also stream directly from most UK betting sites if you have placed a bet on the race. If you are looking to open a new betting account for the big day, you can take advantage of these Grand National betting offers. How many people watch the Grand National? Last year, a peak of 6.1 million people tuned in to watch the Grand National, a fall of 1.4 million from the figure in 2023. Advertisement Blame for that drop has been placed on the moving of the race's start time forward from 5.45pm to 4pm, when fewer people are watching television. The race still accounted for 60 per cent of the people watching at the time, continuing a year-on-year increase. ITV's main presenter Ed Chamberlin said after the 2024 viewing figures were announced: 'That figure is pretty much what we were expecting. The simple fact is less people are watching TV on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm than they are in the early evening. We knew this would be the case.' 'The share is fantastic and is always the most important figure in television,' he added. 'I'd have liked to have had more viewers, but it was pretty much what I was expecting and not many programmes or events get six million watching them in the modern day.' Betting at Aintree? There are Grand National betting offers and Grand National free bets to take advantage of all week, and the Grand National runners and riders guide is here with everything to help you pick your selection.
