The daytime TV staple has been shuffled around to make way for the Women’s World Cup.
This Morning has gone through quite some changes in recent months, including long-term host Phillip Schofield’s controversial exit and Holly Willoughby stepping down for the summer.
Now, the daytime TV staple is set to undergo even more changes as ITV makes room for Women’s Fifa World Cup coverage and shakes up its broadcast schedule.
That means that on Thursday 20th July, the programme will not be part of ITV’s schedule, as the broadcaster will showcase coverage for the Women’s Fifa World Cup kick off.
Coverage for the tournament is being split between broadcasters, with ITV showing the Australia v Republic of Ireland match at 11am, while BBC will be airing the first match of the competition at 8am – New Zealand v Norway (8am).
This Morning is not the only daytime programme affected, with Loose Women also booted from the schedule. Lorraine will go on as usual, with sporting coverage commencing at 10:15am.
