ITV This Morning finishes early as Dermot O'Leary makes announcement

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

This Morning concluded earlier than usual on Wednesday, wrapping up at 12:15pm instead of its regular 12:30pm slot. Host Dermot O'Leary informed viewers with the announcement: "That's it from us, finishing a little bit earlier today for an ITV news special." The schedule change follows a similar adjustment on Tuesday when Loose Women host Ruth Langsford announced that the show would not air on Wednesday 30 October.

Typically broadcast from Monday to Friday, starting at 12.30pm and ending at 1.30pm, Loose Women made way for the ITV News special on Wednesday.

Ruth interrupted her guests to say: "I've got to stop you there," before explaining the time constraints and the upcoming schedule change. "We are running out of time massively.

Thank you so much. That is it for today; we are not here tomorrow. It is the Budget, how lovely." She also mentioned the show's return, adding: "But we will be back with you on Thursday at 12.30pm with Strictly's Johannes and Montell," reports the Mirror.
