ITV follows BBC and cancels scheduled programming amid concerns for Queen's health

ITV has followed the BBC and cancelled all its scheduled programme amid concerns for the Queen's health. Following Tipping Point, which aired between 4pm and 5pm on Thursday (September 8), the broadcaster reverted to news coverage.

Buckingham Palace issued a statement this afternoon saying royal doctors were concerned for health. They said the head of state is comfortable and royal physicians have recommended she stays under medical supervision.

It comes after the 96-year-old monarch pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, a day after appointing Liz Truss as prime minister at Balmoral Castle.
