Humiliated Lorraine's absences have 'become a joke': Insiders reveal savage story of ITV bloodbath to KATIE HIND, truth about 'awful' show and why final blow was so 'mortifying for Lorraine'


ITV bosses - after telling staff of an impending bloodbath of cuts - called on just one of those present for an individual meeting. That person, of course, was Lorraine Kelly.

The moment ITV bosses concluded their emergency summit with staff this week – during which they told them of an impending bloodbath of cuts – they called on just one of those present for an individual meeting. For her colleagues – some of whom take umbrage at her absence from hosting duties, citing the fact that in 2024 she anchored less than 60 per cent of episodes of her eponymous show – this latest development was a long time coming. Some insiders insist that, despite the drama surrounding Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby’s departures, the programme is still seen as the jewel in ITV’s crown and is regarded as a ‘success story’.
