Lorraine Kelly Defends Career After ITV Cuts Show Hours, Weeks

Lorraine Kelly, the veteran ITV daytime host, has responded to recent major cuts to her show by affirming she is 'not done yet' with her TV career despite the reduction of her show's runtime to 30 minutes and airing only 30 weeks a year, with Good Morning Britain taking over her former slot. Reflecting on her more than 40 years in television, Kelly expressed pride in receiving a BAFTA last year and emphasized she still has plenty to offer. She acknowledged feeling more confident and cheeky in her presentations outside her ITV show, enjoying the ability to be more relaxed and candid on other programs. Kelly also revealed that nerves while presenting live have never fully gone away, despite her extensive experience. The broadcaster pushed back against speculation about her show being axed entirely, indicating her intention to continue working in television for the foreseeable future. Supporters, including BAFTA Television Committee chair Hilary Rosen, have praised her warm and engaging presence that has made live broadcasting appear effortlessly smooth.
