ITV Loose Women star shares show change due to World Cup
It appears there's an adjustment on the horizon for Loose Women over the coming days.The ITV programme broadcasts for 30 weeks annually, after being reduced from its previous 52-week schedule, running from 12:30pm until 1:30pm following This Morning.
Nevertheless, from Monday (June 29), the show will be lengthened by an additional 15 minutes each day, which will apply for the rest of the week, with the exception of Thursday (July 2). Panellist Kaye Adams explained the modification during the most recent episode of the show as she informed viewers: "We're with you for a bit longer today, our own extra time due to the World Cup."

Kaye then outlined what audiences could anticipate from the extended broadcasts, saying: "So all this week, in our series, Sort Out Your Summer, we're delving into some of your favourite topics. We've got experts on everything, from the royals to finance and health to skincare."
"Today we are joined by presenter Laura Whitmore, who, herself, has become a bit of an expert on her favourite subject, and it has to be said, Denise's (Welch) favourite subject, true crime."
Yet, before the ITV personalities discussed Laura's podcast with husband Iain Stirling, they paused briefly to acknowledge the latest arrival to her household, reports OK!.
Kaye remarked: "Well done on getting out of the house, baby is only a month old?".
Laura replied: "I know, even looking at that clip, we pre-recorded quite a lot of the podcast, I think I'm nine months pregnant there!
"So it's funny, I forgot what life is like out. It's been lovely so far. You get that guilt, and it's the first time away. I'm a little bit tired, I'm not going to lie!"
The presenter told the Loose Women panel that with her second child, they already had something of a routine in place from raising their eldest, who is four years old.
When asked how her older child was adjusting to the arrival of a younger sibling, Laura responded: "She's amazing, it's quite helpful because sometimes I can't reach down and pick up things, they do!".
"Basically, I have a mini PA who is helping me out. I just don't have to pay her, it's great!"
Laura and her husband Iain welcomed their second child in May, with the presenter sharing the joyful news on social media. Posting an adorable photograph of her newborn's hand, Laura described the arrival as 'unexpectedly early and with dramatic flair'.
