Good Morning Britain ‘taken off air’ as ITV prepare for Women’s World Cup

There will be some big changes coming our way in the weeks ahead and Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Loose Women viewers have been warned of a shake-up ahead

ITV will haul Good Morning Britain off the air next week in a temporary measure as part of a big impending schedule shake-up.

The popular programme will not be broadcasting as usual on Friday – and it is not the only show to face changes.

There will be no This Morning or Loose Women on Thursday as they all make way for the Women’s World Cup.

But there is good news for fans of Lorraine, who will host an extended show instead.

The tournament is being held in Australia and New Zealand meaning there will be early kick-offs UK time. Because of timings, a number of much-loved morning shows will suffer.

The World Cup gets off and underway with the opener between Norway and contest co-hosts New Zealand on Thursday.

After their incredible Euro success last time out, England expects again as their quest begins this weekend.

The Lionesses begin their World Cup campaign against Haiti on Saturday, with fixtures against China and Denmark to follow.

The changes are due to the World Cup – and England fans want more success!

The knockout stages will begin on August 5, with the final set to take place on August 20 at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Glory would mean they become the first-ever England team to win two major football tournaments back-to-back.

Thousands of supporters have turned out just to see them train Down Under on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

They have relaxed with whale watching, catching up on ‘ Love Island ’, beach walks and the occasional trip to the zoo.

Coach Sarina Wiegman, 53, can’t wait for Saturday’s opening game against Haiti.

“You can be very excited, I think we’re in a good place,” she told fans.

“Everyone is getting to the next level again. The team is very excited, we have one more week to prepare for Haiti and we’ll be absolutely ready to go.

“We’re working hard, but the balance between working hard to improve and having some time off to switch to get some headspace is important,” she added.

“We are not robots. This environment helps too. We want everyone to be fit and well when the tournament kicks off.”
