A huge daytime TV show has been cancelled in a schedule shake-up set to leave fans furious.

The beloved panel programme, Loose Women, usually airs from 12.30pm to 1pm every weekday. 

It features familiar faces including Charlene White, Coleen Nolan and Ruth Langsford discussing H๏τ topics and interviewing stars.

However, today (Friday) viewers may be disappointed to discover that Loose Women will not air. 

Instead, ITV’s This Morning will run an extended programme from 10am to 1pm with hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond. 

At the end of yesterday’s instalment, Jane Moore said: ‘That’s it for today and the rest of the week.

Then, horse racing coverage will dominate the channel between 1.30pm and 4pm at Sandown and Perth

‘We’ll be off air tomorrow because of the racing and we’re back next week with Vanessa Williams, Michael Brandon and Victoria Derbyshire.’ 

From 1pm to 1.20pm, ITV Lunchtime news will broadcast, followed by regional news.

Then, horse racing coverage will dominate the channel between 1.30pm and 4pm at Sandown and Perth. 

However, this isn’t the first time Loose Women’s schedule has been disrupted due to horse racing. 

Earlier this month, the Grand National Festival at Aintree took over the network for two days.

This Morning was extended by 30 minutes, and hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard stayed on air until 1pm instead of 12:30pm.

Loose Women fans were unlucky as the beloved lunchtime talk show was taken off the air on both days to make room for live racing coverage.

The popular programme was also cancelled last month (March 26).

Anchor of the programme Ruth Langsford announced the news at the end of Tuesday 25’s instalment of the programme.

Instead The Chancellor’s Statement was broadcast.

Ruth told viewers: ‘We’ve got to go unfortunately! We’d love to stay for the afternoon…

‘We’re not here tomorrow either because of the spring statement. I’m sure you’re all looking forward to that!’

Loose Women returns to on ITV1 on Monday 28 April at 12:30pm.
