Lorraine Kelly Earns £13K Weekly Despite ITV Job Cuts

Lorraine Kelly, the 65-year-old ITV daytime TV host, earned approximately £13,000 per week last year despite ITV's extensive budget cuts and job reductions. Her production company, Albatel Ltd, increased in value to £4.2 million in 2024, up from £4 million the previous year, with corporation tax payments indicating earnings of around £677,520. Starting in January 2026, Kelly's show will be reduced to airing only 30 weeks per year, with Good Morning Britain extended by 30 minutes to fill the schedule gap, reflecting ITV's wider restructuring that includes cutting 220 jobs and merging some programs with ITN. Despite the upcoming reductions, Kelly's show has recently seen a ratings surge, even surpassing the popular This Morning show during her holiday when Christine Lampard hosted. The cuts affect several daytime programs, including Lorraine, Loose Women, and This Morning, while ITV seeks to consolidate news operations and reinvest savings into other programming. Kelly has also recently disclosed a personal health matter, undergoing preventative surgery, but remains positive about her recovery.
