Viewers were expecting to see the Loose Women panel back on their screens this Wednesday after another This Morning instalment but much to their shock, the TV staple was cancelled.
Loose Women is the latest program to be removed from the air as ITV dedicates most of its coverage to the Euros 2024.
Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard were back on the set of This Morning on Wednesday, taking up their usual 10 am slot. The pair welcomed BAFTA award-winning actress Suranne Jones as their last guest of the day, after a conversation about the European heatwave sent fans into an angry frenzy on social media.
The TV duo ended their show as Suranne, who is taking the helm of a documentary about witches on Channel 4, encouraged the crew of the morning staple to howl like wolves. The former Coronation street star will front Suranne Jones: Investigating Witch Trials this Sunday, June 23, at 9pm.

Over on X, otherwise known as Twitter, multiple viewers were waiting for the Loose Women panel to take over, without noticing that Cat and Ben had made mention of the program during their own time on the air.
In a huge twist, the advert break following This Morning made way for ITV’s Lunchtime News. The show will be followed by live coverage of the 17th edition of the European Championship from 1pm.
