A Good Morning Britain star has spoken out about their future on the ITV show following the channel’s daytime cuts.
ITV announced a shock schedule switch-up last year due to budget cuts. The changes, which affect ITV Studios, reportedly result in the loss of more than 220 jobs, nearly half of the 440 staff currently working across these programmes.
The most notable change is to Lorraine, which is now reduced from 1 hour to 30 minutes and will air only 30 weeks a year, down from the current 52.
This Morning will remain unchanged in terms of length and frequency, while Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes, running from 6am to 9:30am.

What’s more, due to the changes, ITV studios have moved from their original home to a smaller studio, with GMB opening up their first show of 2026 in the new studios, with Susanna Reid and Ed Balls kicking off the new year.
However, whilst marking this new chapter, several ITV presenters have bid farewell to the show, including Richard Gaisford, Faye Barker and Zoe Muldoon. Show regular Andrew Pierce also left after 10 years.
But now, amid all the changes, one beloved member of staff at Good Morning Britain has revealed their future, after not appearing on the programme for several months.

Journalist Katy Rickitt joined the long-running ITV show way back in 2012 as a news correspondent, and has covered a range of stories ever since.
And this week, Katy was quizzed on Instagram: “You not on GMTV atm?” referring to Good Morning Britain. Katy then replied: “I’m there next week, lovely, just a quiet couple of months.”
She joined the programme over 10 years ago
Away from the programme, Katy is married to actor Adam Rickitt, who is best known for playing Nick Tilsley on ITV’s long-running soap Coronation Street from 1997 to 2004.
The pair first met when Katy interviewed Adam on GMB back in 2011. Three years later, the couple tied the knot in a winter wonderland wedding in December 2014.
In addition to their successful careers, Katy and Adam also own an artisan bottle shop called Dexter and Jones in Knutsford, Cheshire.
