This Morning extended and Loose Women cancelled today as Grand National takes over ITV schedule

Due to the Grand National racing airing on TV today, there is news about how daytime programming This Morning and Loose Women is affected.

The TV schedules have been overhauled to air the annual horse racing festival from Aintree – and it won’t only be today (April 3) that we’ll see programming changed around. This Morning is still part of the ITV’s schedules, however – and episodes will be even longer (Credit: Instagram) However, it isn’t just Saturday afternoon’s telly that’s subject to change. That’s because, as hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard announced today, This Morning will be extended by half an hour, and will air until 1pm – rather than 12.30pm – on both Thursday and Friday.
