Why is Loose Women not on? ITV talk show replaced by Midsomer Murders in schedule change

Loose Women fans were left confused on Monday when the lunchtime talk show was replaced on ITV.

Those used to tuning in at 12.30pm to see the likes of Carol McGiffin, Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch and Stacey Solomon air their opinions on a number of topical subjects got a shock when they put ITV on to find themelves half way through a Christmas feature length episode of Midsomer Murders.

It wasn't the only big change to the TV guide on Monday either as, just hours earlier some This Morning viewers said their day had been ruined after the programme had been replaced by Supermarket Sweep.

Loose Women will be on this week in a very odd time slot of 10am on Christmas Eve before ITV air festive classic Santa Claus The Movie.

The ladies did announce they wouldn't be on today (Monday) on Friday when they signed off for a few days on the show.

And the show's Twitter account also put a post out reading: "Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas so please know that this year, we're thinking of YOU.

"See you on Christmas Eve."
