BBC Breakfast and ITV daytime are in chaos today due to schedule changes on the broadcasters owing to the start of the Women’s World Cup live from Australia and New Zealand

BBC Breakfast and ITV daytime shows have been moved or axed all together for the day amid some huge schedule changes.

The breakfast show for the BBC usually airs between 6am and 9:15am every day on their main channel, BBC One, whilst ITV usually offer their daytime shows from 6am. Good Morning Britain usually runs until 9am, when Lorraine takes over until 10am. From there, This Morning usually airs between 10am and 12.30pm, whilst Loose Women take over for the final hour.

However, in a huge shake-up this morning, most of the programmes didn’t air as usual.

BBC Breakfast moved from BBC One to BBC Two and whilst Naga Munchetty was absent last week, she was back on the famous red sofa this week and was joined by Ben Thompson rather than Charlie Stayt.

Sharing a snap of them on the sofa, Ben wrote: “We’re jumping over from @BBCOne to @BBCTwo now, where we’ll be with you until 9am…. to make way for the Women’s World Cup. Find your remote, and join us.”

Alison and Dermot bid goodbye to viewers yesterday
Meanwhile, on ITV, Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard led the coverage for Good Morning Britain before Lorraine Kelly took over at 9am, where she is set to host until 10.15am for a bumper long episode.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary issued a statement at the end of This Morning yesterday confirming they’d be off air for Thursday and would be back on our screens on Friday. They’re standing in for Holly Willoughby, who is on a long summer break.

As they ended the show, Alison said: “We’re back with you on Friday because tomorrow’s the women’s football World Cup. We’ll see you then with a special performance from the cast of 42nd Street. John Torode’s in the kitchen making a classic Aussie burger.”

Dermot added: “And Britain’s Got Talent winner Viggo Venn will be live in the studio. That’s on Friday at 10am, see you then.”

On BBC Breakfast, Naga and Ben fronted the show on BBC One until 7.30am before swapping to BBC Two.

“You’ve been watching Breakfast on BBC One. Now, we are going to leave you here on BBC One because coming up next is live coverage of the Women’s World Cup in New Zealand,” Ben shared.

Naga added: “If you want to stay with us, you can turn over to BBC Two. We’re going to be on there until 9 o’clock.”
