Wednesday (April 2) will be the last day to watch Loose Women this week. It comes as ITV has revealed a programme shake-up over the next few days, which also includes a schedule change to This Morning. On Thursday (April 3), the broadcaster’s flagship show will be extended by 30 minutes.
It’s good news for viewers as it means even more coverage from hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard towards the end of the week.
