ITV Loose Women cancelled for the rest of the week

Loose Women will not air for the remainder of this week due to a huge ITV schedule shakeup.

The show is usually on ITV from 12.30pm each weekday, but it will be absent from its usual slot until Monday, March 21. While the panel were able to voice their opinions on Monday, the programme has been bumped from the listings to make way for ITV Racing Live reporting from the Cheltenham Festival.

From Tuesday, This Morning will air from 10am as usual. The ITV news will then be brought forward to 12.30pm, before the racing action starts at 12.50pm. This will be the case up to and including Friday, March 18.

Loose Women isn't the only show affected by the listings changes. Tipping Point, which usually airs for an hour at 4pm each weekday, will be replaced by a repeat compilation version of the game show. Viewers can watch this from 4.30pm each day.

Saturday's listings will also be impacted by sports coverage, as Saturday Night Takeaway and Starstruck are bumped from the schedule. Instead, ITV will broadcast lives from the Six Nations, as Ireland take on Scotland, and later France v England.

Loose Women was pulled off-air on Thursday (March 10) after a "suspected security alert". This Morning was also cancelled after police officers evacuated ITV studios in London.

Staff later returned to the building following the all clear from police, and ITV apologised for the interruption to its schedule.
