Good Morning Britain was extended until 9.25am on ITV on Friday, followed by an almost six-hour General Election 2024 special, The Results
ITV viewers are fuming over the General Election.
Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain was extended past 9am as results poured in for Labour’s landslide win over the Tories. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice the programme cut into the time Lorraine would normally be on-air.
Bosses have pulled today’s episodes of Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women due to the election, airing an almost six-hour political results show instead. Daytime telly watchers have been left riled up by the decision, with some taking to X with complaints.

“It’s going to be a loooong day of TV today no Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women,” commented one user. While someone else complained about the lengthy results show in the trio’s place. “That’s all coming up over the next six hours’ SIX HOURS?! BLIMEY!!!”
“I see there is NO This Morning on Friday because of the election results BUT why can’t ITV air Lorraine, this morning and loose women on ITV2 or ITV3 instead,” another fumed. A fourth fan moaned, “I don’t think I can take anymore. It’s just the same thing over and over.”
The hilarious Where is Lorraine? meme page even got in on the action, posting this morning: “A reminder that there is no #Lorraine (or Ranvir or Christine for that matter) today as ITV are airing the #ToriesAreOut party instead.” One fan of the page replied: “So todays episode is being hosted by Keir Starmer.” Another joked: “The long-suffering Ranvir has the day off!” Before someone noticed: “She got the day off from Lorraine…
“…but she will never get a day off from #ITV.” Ranvir was brought in for Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, stationed in the rain outside the Conservative Party HQ in London waiting for Rishi Sunak to return after his defeat to Labour’s Keir Starmer.”

She asked the outgoing PM if he “blames himself” for the loss live on TV. Ranvir didn’t seem to get a response, so appeared to issue a scathing dig at Sunak’s expense after being blanked by the politician. Speaking to hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid on camera, the Lorraine stand-in star said: “Look at the weather, its miserable.” She continued: “But by the way Rishi Sunak, I’ve checked the weather in California. Its sunny, its 30 degrees, wink wink.”
The joke left viewers laughing, with fans taking to X, formally Twitter, with comments and laughing face emojis after the quick quip. “Cackling at ar Ranvir SCREAMING at Rishi Sunak whether he blames himself or not for the result,” one commented. (sic) While someone else said: “No #lorraine or the show either today, but at least Ranvir still got a link to GMB.”
