ITV viewers watching Lorraine this morning (January 9) were shocked to see host Lorraine Kelly presenting her Friday morning episode.
The Scottish presenter launched her own daytime morning show in 2010. While the show remains on air, the programme was hit with major cuts this year.
After filling an hour slot every morning from 9am, Lorraine has now moved to a 9.30am slot and only airs for 30 minutes. Not only that, but the show has also been reduced to just 30 episodes per year.
Lorraine Kelly hosts ITV daytime show on a Friday
Prior to the cuts, Lorraine Kelly was known to have another presenter fill her shoes on Friday. Replacements included Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, to name a few.
However, since having her show slashed in half, Lorraine has seemingly returned to fronting her Friday episodes, which appears to have caught viewers off guard.
“Is her show live anymore? She doesn’t normally do Fridays,” one user asked on X.
“Rare occurrence of #Lorraine in on a Friday. Clearly making up the hours,” another person insisted.
“#Lorraine she must be on overtime. In on a Friday, unheard of,” a third said.
