ITV Plans 220 Job Cuts, Loose Women Airtime Halved from 2026
Linda Robson, a longtime panellist on ITV's Loose Women, has expressed concern about the show's future amid significant budget cuts announced by ITV, which include reducing the show's on-air weeks from 52 to 30 annually starting in 2026 and eliminating A-list guests and live studio audiences. The broadcaster is cutting more than 220 jobs across its daytime programming, including flagship shows like Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, and This Morning, with many staff fearing job losses. Despite the uncertainty, Robson and her fellow panellists are rallying together to stay positive, emphasizing their close-knit relationships developed over many years on the show. Janet Street-Porter, another senior panellist, has reassured that there are no plans to dismiss older presenters, as the audience strongly relates to them, although younger and less experienced cast members might be at risk. The show, which has been a trusted platform for discussing female-centered topics and current affairs, faces the possibility of cancellation within a year if budget constraints become more severe. Robson also highlighted the value of the diverse age range among the panellists, which contributes to the show's enduring success and connection with viewers.
