Lorraine Kelly refused 'insulting' offer from ITV bosses to merge her show with Good Morning Britain - with star poised to QUIT next year


Lorraine Kelly was given the chance by ITV bosses to merge her daytime show with Good Morning Britain to present the last 30 minutes of their broadcast, but she declined.

The TV veteran, 65, was pulled into a meeting prior to the channel's budget cuts announcement last week where she was offered the new proposal, which was considered an 'easy fix' after the same format was adopted during the pandemic. A source added: 'In January, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women are moving from Television Centre to a central London location, rumoured to be the Hospital Club in Covent Garden. It was reported by the Sun on Sunday that Susanna Reid, 54, is negotiating a new longer-term two-year contract to become a face of the network while co-host Richard Madeley fought to stay on the series.
