But after Monday, coverage of the Cheltenham Festival will air instead.

The horse race meeting starts on Tuesday, March 15 and ends on Friday, March 18.

On Tuesday, the Cheltenham Festival will begin at 12.50pm with five races on day one.

The racecard will include four Grade One contests.

The Unibet Champion Hurdle is the feature on the first day and all eyes will be on Rachael Blackmore and the mare Honeysuckle, last year’s history-making winners, and back to defend their crown against the home challenge led by the resurgent Epatante, winner in 2020.

ITV racing will be on ITV and STV daily from 12.40pm to 4.30pm and broadcast five live races a day.

The Opening Show is on daily on ITV4 from 9am to 10am.

ITV will broadcast almost five hours of coverage of the Cheltenham Festival 2022 each day with a daily morning Opening Show and then the main afternoon show, starting at the earlier time of 12.40pm.

Loose Women will return the following week.
