Tensions have been reported at ITV's daytime studios following the broadcaster's cutbacks.
The Sun has reported cast and crew for Loose Women, Lorraine and This Morning have had difficulty settling into the new underground studio in Covent Garden, central London.
The overhaul, introduced in January, saw budgets tightened across several long-running shows, which included moving from previous studios at Television Centre, White City.
The paper claims presenters like Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond, Cat Deeley, Ben Shephard, Kaye Adams and Ruth Langsford are now having to share dressing rooms and toilets - with the exception of Lorraine Kelly, who has her own private loo.
“There have been quite a lot of issues since the team’s relocation to the new smaller studios,” a source told the paper.
“As well as the cramped space, presenters have had to give up their personal dressing rooms and loos. Lorraine is the only one who has her own private throne.
“But even she has to share it, with guests frequently popping in.”
The Standard has contacted ITV for comment.
A spokesperson said: “ITV daytime have been at the new state-of-the-art multi-storey studios for over a month now and have adapted to the new surroundings successfully.
'The new space and look is on the back of an increase in audience share year on year and digital output achieving almost 50 million views a month.
'There is a positive vibe across all three of the shows.”
Earlier this week, Ranvir Singh spoke candidly about the impact of the shake-ups, admitting that working on a “slightly splintered” Good Morning Britain now feels very different.
Speaking to the Express, Singh said the professional upheaval had been far more difficult for colleagues behind the scenes than for on-screen talent.
“I have to say, whatever you do personally in your career doesn’t really equate to the difficulties that colleagues of mine behind the scenes have clearly felt,” she said. “I’ve said a fond farewell to lots of people I’ve worked with for over ten years, who have got up at the crack of dawn and worked in all the different departments.”
While Singh acknowledged that Good Morning Britain continues to perform strongly in the ratings, she admitted the emotional impact of losing long-standing colleagues has been profound. “Nothing you do personally — obviously that’s great — but you still miss the people that you’ve loved working with for over a decade on breakfast television,” she said, adding that she remains in touch with many former colleagues.
Describing the unique bonds formed on early-morning shows, Singh added: “That family feel… whilst we might all be slightly splintered now, the memories never, ever fade. It’s a special kind of camaraderie you feel at 4am. Any shift worker will tell you, it’s a very different kind of working relationship.”
