Flagship morning show Good Morning Britain has been pulled off air between Christmas and New Year amid Covid fears.
TV bosses have made decision to cancel the show following concerns among staff and presenters, according to reports.
While the pre-Christmas shows will go ahead presenters have been asked to do their own make-up with nobody else allowed in the studio, reports the Sun.

The Christmas Day edition has been pre-recorded.
And the mid-festive period shows will be pulled entirely, in a first for the morning news show.
A spokeswoman confirmed to the Sun: “There is a special GMB Christmas Day show which airs from 7-9am.
“GMB was due to be on air from Weds 29th - Fri 31st December 2021 but due to the pandemic and to protect our teams, we have decided to give them an extended break.
“GMB will not broadcast next week, but will be back on air on Tues 4th Jan 2022.”
Good Morning Britain is fronted by Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins, Kate Garraway, Ranvir Singh and Susanna Reid.
They have been joined by a series of guest presenters after Piers Morgan famously walked out of the studios in March amid a row with weather presenter Alex Beresford over his comments about Meghan Markle.
