LORRAINE Kelly shared a fresh health update today as ITV bosses confirmed her morning show is being halved in a Daytime shake-up.
The beloved host, who earlier this month, has yet to comment directly on the news.
However, the ITV veteran, 65, put on a brave face as she relaxed in her garden in photos on Instagram.
She said in an upbeat message to fans, shortly before the announcement: “The sun is shining, I’m on the mend, and it feels so good to be getting back in the garden.
“This floral blouse and cropped trousers from my #LorraineLoves collection with @Bonmarche are just the thing.”;;
While she was soaking up the sunshine, ITV bosses unveiled sweeping changes that will see her show slashed to just 30 minutes a day and on only for part of the year.
ITV confirmed that from January 2026, the show will air 9.30am to 10am, and only for 30 weeks a year.
The move comes as part of a major overhaul of ITV’s Daytime schedule, which will also see Good Morning Britain extended to 9.30am and produced by ITV News at ITN.
and will continue but share production resources in a cost-cutting blitz.
The changes mean fewer appearances from Lorraine, who has hosted her self-titled programme since 2010, and follows speculation about her future on the channel.
ITV says savings made will go into dramas and major sporting events, including the next football World Cup.
Kevin Lygo, ITV’s head of telly, said: “These changes allow us to reinvest across our programming and continue delivering the shows viewers love.”;;
HEALTH WOES
Lorraine underwent ‘preventative’ surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes.
After a brief recovery period, she was back on our screens on Monday.
The telly host assured fans her recovery was going smoothly after she underwent keyhole surgery on an ovarian cyst earlier this month.
She said: “It was keyhole surgery to get rid of my ovaries and fallopian tubes. Keyhole is amazing. I’ve got three new holes in my body, all healing beautifully.”;;
Lorraine also explained how she first discovered the issue.
She revealed: “Back in January I was coming back from India, and on the flight I had terrible, terrible pain, and it was a cyst that had burst, an ovarian cyst that had burst.”;;
After a scan, doctors clocked that one of her ovaries looked “a bit dodgy”;; and recommended they were removed as a precaution.
The presenter spent a night at Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, Berkshire.
She said: “When I went home, Steve (her husband) had to do everything. I’m not allowed to hoover, I’m not allowed to lift anything.”;;
But despite the pain, she enjoyed her time off, spending time with her new granddaughter Billie.
She said: “But, you know, there’s (Billie) the best medicine in the world, that is the best medicine. Even though I can’t lift her, I can cuddle her.”;;
