Speaking to viewers at home, Cat declared: "Morning, so it's our last show this morning." Ben chimed in with: "Yes, for the summer." ITV has since unveiled a new line-up of hosts set to fill in on This Morning throughout the summer season, reports the Mirror. In a video shared on its official Instagram account, ITV introduced the incoming presenters through a series of Polaroid photos displayed on a gingham tablecloth. Leading the pack are fan favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who will be hosting the Friday slot.

Predictably, the comments section was awash with reactions as Sian Welby expressed her excitement, writing: "Can't wait." Alison Hammond replied with an upbeat "Yay". Following her two-year stint on Loose Women, Olivia expressed her delight about her fresh position. She remarked: "It's a huge honour, I've grown up watching this show.

This development follows ITV's recent revelation of substantial alterations to its daytime programming. Lorraine's programme will now span just 30 minutes, airing from 9:30am to 10am, running on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks annually. Good Morning Britain is also poised for a considerable scheduling shift, broadcasting for three and a half hours regularly and extending to a complete four hours during Lorraine's off-season. Loose Women returns to a 30-week format reminiscent of their pre-2016 arrangement, with these scheduling changes due to take effect from January 2026.

ANOTHER Good Morning Britain host announces extended break from show in fresh ITV presenter shake-up
Another Good Morning Britain host has announced an extended break from the ITV show in a fresh ITV presenter shake-up. On Thursday's episode of the show saw Richard Madeley, 69, and Kate Garraway, 58, return to our screens to discuss the latest headlines. At the end of the instalment, Richard said: 'Right. I'm off for three weeks. I'll see you in three weeks time!' A shocked Kate asked: 'Are you?!' 'Yes,' Richard replied. Kate told him: 'Have a lovely holiday! You haven't rebelled, you haven't been suspended...' Richard giggled and said: 'No...' He continued: 'No I haven't had the whip taken away.' It comes after another GMB presenter told viewers they were taking a break from the programme. During last Thursday's episode, Susanna Reid, 54, explained to viewers that she was taking her 'holidays' as the show wrapped. Just before handing over to Lorraine, Susanna said she was now officially on leave from the programme. The host - who is the main anchor of the show - did not say the exact date she'd return to screens, but that it would be at 'term time', likely meaning around the start of September. She said: 'I am off on my holidays but I will see you at the star of the new term.' It's unclear who will replace Susanna and co-host the show in her absence from Monday to Thursdays. However, Richard Madeley jokingly confirmed he isn't going anywhere as he waved in her face following the news, saying: 'I am still here!' Richard and Susanna's break comes amid a period of change for the breakfast programme ahead of its behind-the-scenes shakeup next year as part of ITV budget cuts. Lorraine and Loose Women face the brunt of the cuts, with GMB's programme to be merged with ITN, who produce ITV News. Meanwhile, the Good Morning Britain has been slammed after making a controversial move to cut costs even more. Execs have axed its US office for the first time in the award-winning show's history. The Sun reported how the move means Good Morning Britain will no longer have a dedicated team across the pond to cover big stories across current affairs and entertainment. A source told the publication how the show, which is anchored by Susanna Reid and launched in 2014, will likely use ITN's main news hub in the US for reports. They said: 'They have completely axed their American operation, with the intensity of the news cycle in the US as it is - especially now, with a president who is making headlines daily. 'How does that make any sense? 'These cuts are a disaster in the making. The way they have gone about all of this is messy and it is devastating for us all.' The source added it was a 'shortsighted' move and a 'brazen pivot away from journalism' that will result in 'genuine, good quality people' leaving the show. However, a spokesperson for ITV said: 'ITV is currently in consultation over proposed changes and no final decisions have been made on redundancies. 'ITV News has a significant presence across North America and its award winning bureau will continue to provide Viewers with trusted international news.' Last year Susanna went clubbing with her grown-up sons Sam, 22, Finn, 21, and 19-year-old Jack during her holidays. In an interview with Woman & Home, she admitted: 'I'm not really a pub-goer, but I go clubbing. 'I went clubbing with them during the day and had the most amazing time. I stopped drinking in 2018 and I'm now predominantly teetotal. 'I have a Buck's Fizz on Christmas Day, I had half a glass of champagne on my mum's birthday and I have a drink once every couple of months – including a couple in Ibiza – but I don't have pints at the pub like I did in my 20s.' Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 from 6am and is available to stream on ITVX.

Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley announces break and he'll be off screen for weeks
Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley announced he will be taking some time off from the ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain star Richard Madeley has announced a show break, and he'll be off screen for weeks. During Thursday's (July 17) broadcast of the popular ITV show, Richard appeared alongside co-presenter Kate Garraway. The pair briefed audiences on the upcoming five-day strike by resident doctors and chatted with actor Martin Shaw, who famously declined the opportunity to portray James Bond. Richard and Kate also delivered crucial guidance for parents regarding child safety, following recent alerts about the risks of serving slushie beverages to youngsters under seven years old. Laura Tobin joined them in the studio to deliver regular weather forecasts, whilst Marverine Cole handled the remaining news segments, reports the Mirror. As the programme drew to a close, Richard and Kate discussed the day's major headlines with political commentators Jonathan Ashworth and Kwasi Kwarteng, before passing the baton to Lorraine Kelly. Just as GMB prepared to wrap up, Richard disclosed that he'd be taking leave over the coming weeks, but assured viewers of his return. "Right, I'm off for three weeks, I'll see you all in three weeks' time," he announced. "Are you? Have a lovely holiday. You haven't rebelled, you haven't been suspended, you're just going on holiday," Kate responded. Richard jokingly concluded: "No, I haven't had the whip taken away, but I've had it applied a few times." The replacement for Richard on the breakfast programme during his holiday has not been officially announced, but it's expected that one of his colleagues, Ed Balls, Martin Lewis, Adil Ray, or Rob Rinder, will step in. Richard made a surprise comeback to daytime television in 2021 following Piers Morgan's departure from GMB after a row over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The veteran broadcaster, aged 69, is well-remembered for co-presenting ITV's This Morning alongside his wife Judy Finnigan from 1988 until 2001. Richard's time off comes just a week after his co-presenter Susanna Reid revealed her own summer break from the show. Speaking to viewers, she announced: "I am off on my summer holidays and will see you at the start of the new term."
