Sweeping changes were announced earlier this month to ITV Daytime shows that will impact the likes of This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine. 6 This Morning star Rochelle Humes has revealed a HUGE change to the show amid ITV cuts Credit: ITV 6 Rochelle revealed the rule in a TikTok video Credit: Tiktok 6 She showed her fans the process of getting ready for the show Credit: Tiktok 6 Rochelle could be seen donning blue jeans and a white shirt Credit: Tiktok 6 Fans loved the chic look Credit: Tiktok More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — meaning almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be let go. But amid the changes, This Morning have introduced a new rule. The show has long had an unwritten rule in place that meant presenters could not wear a specific item of clothing. All of the presenters - past and present - are known for being dressed smartly. Rochelle Humes, who is now a staple of the This Morning rotation, revealed the new rule. Ahead of an episode earlier this week, Rochelle took to TikTok to tell her fans about the rule change. The 35-year-old former star of The Saturdays said: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to be allowed to wear jeans, did we? "But we can wear jeans now. "This is amazing news for me." Reacting to her video on the social media platform, fans were quick to swoon over the outfit she had picked out for the show. This Morning viewers can't believe Dermot O'Leary's 'real age' as he and Alison Hammond celebrate his birthday on air "Smart yet casual yet fun & relaxed," said one. "Obsessed with this outfit," penned a second. Rochelle then appeared live on the show wearing a pair of light-wash River Island denim jeans. This isn't the only way the show has started to become more relatable. ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. Cat Deeley, who is one of the show's new anchors, was recently asked to embrace her Brummie accent. The star's Birmingham accent was softened during her years on American TV, but now she has been asked to lean back into it as to appeal to the UK audience. An ITV insider previously told MailOnline: "This Morning want presenters their audiences can relate to and there were worries Cat was too perfect and preened." This comes amid ITV's shocking shakeup that will see hundreds of people lose their jobs at the channel. Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily.

Inside This Morning's desperate bid to slash costs from axing Alison Hammond's trips to LA to banning outside filming
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS Morning's secret cash cuts have been revealed amid ITV Daytime's strict budget cuts. It appeared that the fledgling daytime show had come out largely unscathed in ITV's latest announcement about schedule changes and cuts to its daytime output, however, it has since been claimed that This Morning will be facing a period of change from January 2026. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 This Morning is facing huge cutbacks - including axing Alison Hammond's LA trips Credit: Rex 5 Her visits to interview Hollywood stars will be pulled from the show Credit: Instagram/@alisonhammond55 5 The costs come amid a crisis at ITV Credit: Shutterstock Editorial According to the MailOnline, This Morning is facing a huge cutback on its production budget backstage which will see big, glossy showbiz segments axed, no more abroad trips for its hosts and larger-than-life musical items binned. The programme has been known for going all-out, including jetting Alison Hammond to LA to interview Hollywood's top talent as well as various outside broadcasts but it is now expected that these will all be put to bed in order to bring down costs. It is understood to be the price This Morning has had to pay after not being subjected to any schedule shake-ups and on-air talent axings like its counterparts, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and Loose Women. Insiders have claimed that the show will be scaled-back and that their usual flashy, over-the-top segments will be no more. Speaking about how This Morning will be affected by the ITV crisis, the insider told the publication: "This Morning may have not been hit by the cuts on the surface, but the show is going to look completely different when this all comes into effect next year. "The cost of production is on the rise and budgets are going to be significantly reduced when the shows launch in their new schedule slots. "As well as cuts behind the scenes, there will be big changes on camera, especially on This Morning, big production items like musical theatre performances or outside broadcasts, which is what the show is famous for, will be cut. "Gone are the days of flying talent like Alison Hammond to Los Angeles to interview Hollywood stars." They further added: "The general consensus among staff is that the shows are being put on life support and within time, Lorraine and Loose Women will be the first to be cancelled." This Morning is currently headed up by Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. ITV Faces Major Shake-Up: Good Morning Britain Stars Under Threat Amid Cost Cuts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary host the show on Fridays and it is thought that the four of them are safe from any impending job cuts. ITV confirmed earlier this week that Loose Women and Lorraine would both face a major overhaul with the shows axing 22 weeks worth of episodes to take them down to a seasonal basis. It means both shows will air for just 30 weeks a year. Good Morning Britain will be extended on days when Lorraine is not on-air and will be working closer with the ITV News team under the ITN banner. GMB and Loose Women are both expected to see on-air talent cut with Lorraine stand-in hosts, Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh, already revealed to have lost their fill-in positions on the show as a result of the schedule changes. Adil Ray is expected to be let go from GMB whilst a THIRD of the Loose Women cast could lose their jobs as a result of the changes.
