From January, Lorraine will only take to the airwaves for 30 weeks of the year and for only half an hour at a time. Following the announcement, fears rose that the veteran presenter could quit the channel entirely.

When the Camden-based company lost its licence, she was one of only a few stars who made the switch to GMTV in 1993.
