LOOSE WOMEN PULLED OFF AIR AS ITV COVERS CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL
In a disappointing move for fans, Loose Women will not be airing this week due to ITV’s coverage of the Cheltenham festival. The female-led panel show, which has been a stable part of the network since its launch in 1999, will be replaced by horse racing from Tuesday until Friday. This comes after viewers already missed out on an episode last week due to the Chancellor’s budget show.
However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the popular programme is expected to return to its normal schedule on Monday, March 18, after the conclusion of the sporting event. While Loose Women is off the air, ITV’s early morning line-up of shows remains unchanged. Good Morning Britain will continue to air from 6am to 9am, followed by Lorraine from 9am to 10am, and This Morning.
The chat show, now hosted by Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, will run from 10am to 12.30pm. After that, ITV will broadcast the races from 1pm until 4:30pm on ITV 1 and ITVX.
Over the course of the four-day spectacle, a total of twenty-eight races will take place, with each day featuring one highlighted race. The event is expected to attract various celebrities and famous faces, including the Princess Royal.
In other news, Denise Welch made headlines during today’s segment of Loose Women as she criticized Kate Middleton following the release of her Mother’s Day photo. The 65-year-old shared her views on the controversy surrounding the image, calling the Prince and Princess of Wales a “mockery” and accusing them of fueling “controversy and conjecture.”
The photo, which sparked a nationwide debate due to suspected Photoshopping, showed Kate smiling at the camera with her three children. Denise expressed her disbelief in the statement and claimed that the public was being led to believe the image was post-surgery without any evidence. She heavily criticized the timing of the photo, suggesting it could have been taken at any time.
