ITV's Loose Women taken off air after highly emotional episode

Loose Women will not be aired today.

The ITV daytime talk show will be replaced by a three-hour special news show covering The King's Tour of Wales. It will be His Majesty's first visit to Wales as monarch and he will be joined by his Queen Consort, Camilla.

This Morning was also cancelled today as the news programme began at 10am - the time when the show hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermott O'Leary normally airs on a Friday. Good Morning Britain and Lorraine aired as usual.

It comes after an especially emotional episode of Loose Women aired yesterday, on Thursday. The panel of women reflected on their memories of Queen Elizabeth and mourned her death.

The monarch was all that some in the UK had ever known. She reigned for 70 years - the longest anyone has ever sat on the throne for in the UK.

Tears flowed both in the studio and from viewers at home as Brenda Edwards shared a poignant moment where the new King sent her words of comfort after losing her son, Jamal, suddenly. She recalled the moment that she opened the door to a man dropping off a bouquet of white roses and a letter addressed to her.

The royal was the Prince of Wales at the time of Jamal's passing, but he still thanked Jamal for all of his hard work in the letter, which came accompanied by white flowers. Brenda opted to share the contents of the letter with her fellow co-hosts and those watching the ITV show at home. She became visibly emotional as she read the words that had been written.
