Christine Lampard welcomed a huge change to Loose Women on Monday, just as show was delayed and its 'special day' overshadowed by the new Conservative leader announcement
With the eyes and ears of the nation on the reveal of who out of Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak would take over from Boris Johnson and ultimately become the next prime minister, normal programming was interrupted o n ITV in the lead up t o the winner being confirmed. The closing moments of This Morning were dominated by the live political coverage as Truss discovered she had received 57% of the Tory vote.
The rolling live broadcast ate into Loose Women on the same day that the lunchtime talk show had some big news of its own, with the return of a studio audience for the first time in over two years. Loose Women ended up starting 20 minutes late as a result of ITV making a hasty adjustment to its schedule.
