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.

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."

Loose Women and This Morning schedule change revealed by ITV this week
Wednesday (April 2) will be the last day to watch Loose Women this week. It comes as ITV has revealed a programme shake-up over the next few days, which also includes a schedule change to This Morning. On Thursday (April 3), the broadcaster's flagship show will be extended by 30 minutes. It's good news for viewers as it means even more coverage from hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard towards the end of the week. This Morning usually airs from 10am until 12.30pm on ITV1 but instead it will end at 1pm tomorrow and Friday (April 4). Following the extended programme will be ITV Lunchtime News (from 1pm) and a regional news broadcast after that (1.20pm). Meanwhile, Loose Women will be removed from its regular slot on Thursday and Friday and won't air after today. It will return to its normal air time of 12.30pm on Monday (April 7).
