Coronavirus: ITV axes Loose Women and Lorraine

Repeats will be aired instead

ITV has announced it will no longer broadcast popular daytime shows Lorraine and Loose Women live in the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement released on Sunday (March 22) afternoon, the broadcaster confirmed it is pulling both programmes in a bid to cut down on the number of staff travelling in and out of the studios.
